NSW Art Gallery - Educational Excursion Venue - 5 views

  •  
    The NSW Art Gallery, located in the heart of Sydney CBD near the Royal Botanical Gardens and is one of Sydney's most culturally valuable institutions. The gallery consists of a variety of collections on constant display including Australian, Indigenous, European and Asian Art which could be be experienced by many stage groups and applied to different KLA's. There are a variety of educational 'Art Adventure Programs' available at the NSW Gallery. Programs include 'Lets Go Bush' which focuses on the Australian Landscape and iconic works by Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin. 'Lets Look Back' focuses on History, Wars, costumes and narratives in art. A couple of others include 'Yiribana' which is Indigenous art and 'Arts in Asia'. All these 'Art Adventure Tours' are guided programs that are free and students are arranged prior into groups of 6-7 and each group allocated one of their many expert volunteer guides. These programs run for 1hr for K-6 groups of students and they are based on a 2 way dialogue philosophy, in which open ended questions are posed to students based on what they see and interpret with the artworks. Students are shown a collection of 4 - 6 artworks during their tour. A visit to the NSW Art Gallery is the best way for students to look at original artworks and discover scale, texture and appreciate and respond to different works. They communicate socially with people in the community such as art professionals in a new environment which is engaging and stimulating and exposed to different voices and opinions that make the experience concrete and real. I would recommend the NSW Art Gallery as a valued educational excursion experience.
