Geoff Raby In Our Time Education Kit

IN OUR TIME: FOUR DECADES OF ART FROM CHINA AND BEYOND. THE GEOFF RABY COLLECTION

Education Kit

DOWNLOAD

To accompany ‘In Our Time: Four Decades of Art from China and Beyond – the Geoff Raby Collection’, NAS Galleries has developed a set of education resources designed for students in the senior years of high school, most specifically for students studying Visual Arts, through either the NSW Preliminary and HSC or the IB syllabuses.

However, these materials may also be useful for secondary and tertiary students from different disciplines visiting the exhibition. 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.

This resource has been written in line with the Years 7-10 Visual arts Syllabus and the Higher School Certificate Visual arts Syllabus, as a guide to exploring the exhibition or as a pre- or post-visit resource. Tertiary students and the general public may also find the resource useful.

Teachers will be able to use this resource in conjunction with the works in the exhibition to engage in a critical and historical study of the art world and to investigate artists, artworks, worlds, and audiences from a range of cultural, political, historical and social perspectives and use these to inform their own artmaking practices.

In examining the works showcased in the exhibition as part of a collection, the students will gain an understanding of the value of the audience as a body of critical consumers and will appreciate their own role, as well as those of the critic, as audience members. The students’ investigation of the range of expressive forms, themes, and genres which the works encompass, will also serve to inform their artmaking.
