The National Picture exhibition

As part of the joint National Gallery of Australia and TMAG exhibition, The National Picture, an education resource was created for upper high school and college students.

The resource provides engaging and critical perspectives on colonial art, including references to a number of key 19th Century artworks in the permanent TMAG collection.

Importantly the resource also includes references to contemporary Aboriginal artists' responses to those works.

This innovative resource provides a useful guide for any educators or students wanting to 'unpack' the art of this period and to consider the diversity of ways it may be viewed and understood.


In the Making

'In the Making' is a resource about creative processes.

It is designed to help students and teachers understand how artists approach their work and the processes behind a range of different creative projects.
