Author Information

Jan Deans is the Director of the Early Learning Centre, which is the University of Melbourne’s research and demonstration preschool. She is a long time advocate for teaching and learning through the arts and has worked both locally and internationally in early childhood, primary, tertiary, and special education settings. She has broadly based expertise in relation to early childhood education and service delivery and her recent research interests include learning through dance, social emotional competence and learning in the natural environment. In 1997 she established Boorai –The Children's Art Gallery to present the voices of young children as expressed through their art and narratives. Boorai collaborates with educational and community organizations locally, nationally and internationally. Susan Wright is Chair of Arts Education in the Melbourne Graduate School of Education at the University of Melbourne and is the Director of the Melbourne UNESCO Observatory of Arts Education. Her areas of teaching and research centre on semiotics and how meaning is transmediated across modalities, with a particular focus on artistic forms. She has also focused on ontological frameworks for understanding arts education in relation to learning and pedagogy and the influence of the environment on children’s and adults’ co-construction of artistry. Professor Wright has published extensively in the area of early childhood arts education and her principal books include The Arts Young Children and Learning and an edited compilation entitled Children, Meaning-Making and the Arts.
