NAVA encourages Visual Arts Educators to join with a Premium Membership or schools to join with an Organisation Membership which includes three logins for staff.
While nearly all schools are paying for the Statutory Education Licence, NAVA's resources are often missed through the licensing arrangement. Please let NAVA or the Copyright Agency know if you are presenting the Code of Practice and other NAVA material in the classroom. This will help sustain our future work.

Classroom Guides allow students to discover ideas, themes and topics from the Code of Practice for Visual Arts Craft and Design through the artist's voice.
The guides can be used in multiple ways – as a teacher reference, a classroom resource, a term unit or lesson presentation.

NAVA recommends that all interactions with the activities and information included in these resources be accompanied by a viewing of the videos and hands-on exploration of the Code of Practice website.
