Student Programs
Collection and Exhibitions
Guided Discussion Tours, Study Mornings, Artist Workshops and Studio Sessions within the collection and exhibitons are core programs for the Years 7-12 students.
These engaging and informative programs are led by Education Coordinators and our specially trained Gallery Educators known as Teacher-Lecturers. All programs emphasise the experience of original works of art through an inquiry-based, skills development approach to learning, focusing on looking and interpreting, responding and discussion.
The aim of these programs is for students to:
- engage directly with a diverse range of original art objects across the Gallery's collection
- develop a greater understanding and enjoyment of art
- formulate and articulate their own ideas and critical points of view
- explore the diverse contexts art operates within and reacts to including, spaces, places, cultures, times, histories and narratives
- investigate the professional practice of artists as valued members of society
- experiment with and manipulate art materials and processes in their own art making
- value the diverse range of ideas and points of view contributed by others in the experience and investigation of art
Discussion Tours focus on looking, questioning, interpreting and responding.
These tours may also incorporate a range of stimulus material, props, practical activities and materials. For small groups of up to 15 students.
