Arts education is regarded as an essential part of quality
education which not only enhances learners' social, personal and
intellectual development, but also their critical and creative
thinking skills. It provides learners with opportunities to work
collaboratively with each other and in so doing, to develop respect
for others' opinions and backgrounds. It is also a healthy outlet
for emotions and ideas that learners may not otherwise be able to
express. Creative arts education provides guidelines on how to
teach dance, drama, visual arts and music in a more animated,
vibrant and practical manner so as to allow each child to reach his
full potential. Based on the grades 7-9 curricula, Creative arts
education provides examples and activities to enable creative arts
teachers to put theory into practice. Besides sections for each art
form, a full chapter is devoted to inclusive education, learning
barriers and how best to accommodate the different learning styles
and needs of a diverse class of learners. Structural guidance
according to CAPS requirements is also included. Creative arts
education is aimed at all prospective and practising grades 7-9
teachers of visual arts, dance, music and drama.

Ireland all the way until contemporary times. Volume Twelve of The
Whisanant Mythos.
I have been keeping a series of sketchbook/journals for over 30
years now. These are kept on those thick black hardbound
sketchbooks that you see in art supply stores. The kind that have
acid free archival paper that is supposed to last for years and
years.... I went through the collected books and scanned and
cleaned up the drawings. Some pages were a little smudged from
years of friends thumbing through them. I'm glad that I took the
time, since even on archival paper these drawings might eventually
be lost to time.... I hope that you will enjoy this uncensored
collection of drawings and that you will enjoy this chance to
explore a little bit of my imagination... over 200 pages of pencil
and pen and ink drawings--Fairies, goblins, fantasy characters.
Some of the work is explicit, so keep on the top shelf.
