SAEP SUPPORT FOR ART AT
SINETHEMBA in 2003
SAEP proposes to expand its
project for the support of art at Sinethemba in at least four ways during
2003, subject to the availability of funding.
-
The first is support the
highly successful co-operation between Sinethemba and the Ibhabhathane
Project at the Frank Joubert Art and Design Centre. A
major component is participation of Grade 9 Learners from Sinethemba
in Ibhabhathane's Art
Lessons for Learners programme. Grade 8 learners from Sinethemba
participated in this programme in 2002.
-
The second is to enable two
recent graduates of Sinethemba S.S.S., Luzuko Hina and Bulelani
Futshane, to participate in the Educator's
Inset programme (teacher training courses) along with
Sinethemba teachers so as to prepare them to contribute to the
teaching of art at the school as part of SAEP's
"gap year" programme.
-
The third is to provide at
Sinethemba a series of enrichment programmes in art, and in particular art history, to be
presented by both artists and art teachers. One of these will be Michel Roger, an architect and
water-colourist from France who had previously conducted a highly
successful introduction to architecture at Sinethemba as an SAEP
Fellow in 2000. Another is Helen Binckes, a lecturer in art at
Cape College, Cape Town. Two prominent local artist whom we will
be studying are Selwyn
Pekeur and Zwelethu Mthetwa.

Fourth, SAEP will
seek to raise funds to enable
recent graduates of the Frank Joubert Artists
as Teachers Learnship programme to provide
supplemental instruction in art at Sinethemba. Consideration will
also be given to a suggestion for developing an Adult Basic
Education (ABET) centre at the school and attracting particularly
young adults to a variety of subjects offered in the evenings.
