National Gallery of Victoria On Russell

 

Education - School Programs

The core philosophy of Education-School Programs is 'Education through Art'. Art can provide a framework for enhancing aesthetic appreciation. In addition, it is a powerful tool for understanding the context of social history. Through art, we can discover the diversity of stories, traditions and religious practices of Australian people, past and present. A greater understanding of Aboriginal culture will assist in the process of Reconciliation and lead to deeper awareness of the cultural complexities of our nation.
