Abstract
Employing the Grimm Brothers’ Hansel and Gretel tale as a metaphorical device, this paper explores how arts education can disrupt the hidden curriculum in schools (Rosenberg & Thurber, 2007). This paper provides a symbolic representation of the education context by likening the secondary school art studio to the Gingerbread House, featured in the fairy tale story, and in turn the art teacher to a feminist re-envisioning of a witch. In this contemporary version, the ‘art teacher-witch’ creates recipes for challenging and confronting increasing government involvement in the education sector through contemporary art practice.
