range of programs linked to the Gallery's collection and supporting
school curriculum. These include tours, talks and hands-on activity

the artists and their lands. Also discusses different techniques used.
Resource package for teachers with follow up class work and further
information sources included.
Art & Cultural Workshops with Indigenous
Artist
A hands-on workshop conducted with an Indigenous
artist. This involves students commencing work on their own piece of
art using traditional techniques as demonstrated by the artist facilitator.
The style of work (dot painting, raark etc) depends on the background
of the particular artist.
Currently, Yorta Yorta artist Tiriki Onus guides students through creating
art with traditional symbols and totems, explaining the stories and
meanings behind them, as well as hand stencilling. (Activities are altered
for age appropriateness) Teachers and supervisors are required to assist
the students during the workshops. Groups may either provide their own
materials or pay a small material fee. Please inquire when booking.
Facilitated DVD screenings – indigenous
art & culture
A selection of DVD screenings is available for students that provides
an insight into the landscape and culture that informs Aboriginal art
across Australia. Video screenings are introduced with a follow up Q&A
session about the content. Be inspired by the landscape and dreamtime
stories as they’re interpreted through art
