Artist~Schools practice is a general term for what happens when skilled, professional artists work for and with primary/secondary school pupils in the making, receiving and interpreting of a wide range of arts experiences. The practice can happen within or outside the schools, in all art forms and disciplines and can range from one-off visits, through more extended programmes, to intensive, collaborative projects. The Guidelines are intended to assist artists, arts organisations, schools and all those interested, e.g., early childhood providers, parents, policy-makers, in designing initiatives by setting out characteristics (philosophical and practical) of good practice models; pointing to key issues and questions to be addressed; setting out approaches to planning/implementation/evaluation.
