Art?
Art and Design Education For 2 years now, being busy about other things, I have not thought much about art education; and this abstinence seems not to have been injurious to anybody. But the thing nags.

Computer Art: Critical issues in teaching

Music by any other name would be as sweet.
If all the arguments about community music that have raged around Australia for the past 15 years or so were laid end to end, they would stretch from the Sydney Opera House to the Hobart Casino, from the Boggabrai Light Opera Company to the Geraldton Recorder Group, from the Rockhampton Youth Orchestra to the Busselton Trade Union Choir and back, forming a veritable spider web tapestry of case histories that neither prove nor disprove any one definition of what community music is or is not.

Realising Potential in Writing
There is considerable potential for writing-in-the-community and community theatre writing. However, that potential may only be fully achieved if there is a re-evaluation of the aesthetics, processes and products of such writing. The re-evaluation should be based on the assumption that the product should have substance rather than flopsy-bunny triviality. The community arts are worse than useless if they do not have a functional as well as an artistic aspect.

Editor's Note: Sculpture
This special issue does not attempt to be a national survey of sculpture. It has focussed on various centres and given others less attention, partly to balance previous material in earlier issues of Artlink of which the following are notes by way of summary.
Dimensions: Sculpture in Australia
A Fact, A Question
Sculpture is not like painting because it is not flat and does not raise the question of mimesis in the same way. A theory of sculpture must therefore be, somewhere at its deep foundations, different from a theory of painting. Not just a bit different: a lot different.
