Administrative history
The Department of Visual and Performing Arts in Education (VPAE) was established in 1980 as part of the Faculty of Education. The Department combined the previously separate programs of Art and Music education and was given responsibility for teacher education in arts and music at the elementary and secondary school levels. This was done in close cooperation with the Department of Fine Arts and the Department (later the School) of Music. VPAE also sponsored a series of lectures for faculty and students by visiting education professionals, called the "Quarterly quorum." Its studio and performance courses were transferred to the Faculty of Arts in 1988. The Department was discontinued in 1994 as part of another reorganization of the Faculty of Education, when four departments, including VPAE, were merged into two new departments. During its early years, the Department was led by Dr. J.A.S. MacDonald (1980-1983), and Dr. Ronald MacGregor (1983-1994).
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of correspondence, reports, minutes of meetings, and published materials such as programs and flyers, and documents the programs and activities of the Department. It is arranged in the following series: General Administration, Meetings (with sub-series: Department and Committees), Department Programs (with sub-series: Art Education (ARTE) and Music Education (MUED)), and “Quarterly Quorum.” The Art Education sub-series includes records that pre-date the establishment of the Department and document the Art Education program during the late 1970s.
