"Peter Smith was one the most influential art educators in New Zealand. During his 50 year career as well-loved teacher, role model, mentor, and leader in arts education policy he elevated the status and value of New Zealand art education to both national and international acclaim. He helped develop and draft the country's first national art curriculum and introduced the education system to the new and uncharted territory of internal assessment and external moderation. To know Peter's life and legacy is to understand the evolution of art education in New Zealand from World War II to today"--Publisher information.
