School Programs

Students engage with artworks through in-depth analysis of a specific exhibition, examining themes, discussing the formal qualities of artworks, and their cultural and social contexts, interpretations and meanings.

Heide’s Connect to Art exhibition tours for Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience have been developed with The Torch and will be presented by First Nations Educators.

Suitable for F-10. Programs are tailored to suit different year levels

Students will extend their understanding of art practice through their first-hand experience making work focused on materials, techniques and processes. Students work with an artist to create artworks in response to the ideas, concepts, materials and processes they have seen in their Connect to Art Exhibition Tour. Students work either independently or collaboratively and are encouraged to be reflective, consider new ideas, and experiment with materials, techniques and processes.
