They aim to provide interesting entry points through which teachers and students can engage with works in the exhibition, and suggestions for more in-depth case studies.


Exhibition Education Resources

These resources present information, questions and suggested activities in relation to the exhibition as a whole and in more detail to artists and artworks that demonstrate the  material and conceptual choices. This resource is linked to syllabus content and outcomes from the NSW Preliminary and HSC and the IB Diploma. It may also be helpful for tertiary students and teachers who might engage in more in-depth discussions in or beyond the gallery. Fine Arts and Art Theory undergraduate students and postgraduate students in Masters programs in Curating and Museum Studies may enjoy discussing the focus questions, which range in degree of difficulty and sophistication. They can be accessed before, during or after a visit to the gallery. They may also be used by teachers and students who are not able to visit the gallery in person.

Questions and activities can be easily adapted to the specific needs of students and teachers in their individual contexts. The questions provided in this resource may be used for written responses, examination preparation, or for open-ended discussions in the gallery or the classroom. Each exhibition has a downloadable Teacher’s PDF for classroom use.
