| The Auckland Art Gallery
Education Programmes respond to the Gallery’s permanent collections and
temporary exhibitions with curriculum focused programmes.
Gallery programmes respond to the New Zealand curriculum to encourage
cross-curricular links and build key skills.
Our programmes aim to:
- use personal experience as a starting point to engage with works
of art.
- provide an understanding of the social and cultural contexts
that gave rise to particular art works.
- examine works, which illustrate how people express their
beliefs, values and feelings about the world.
- investigate how art is made, viewed and valued and the
significance of these works to both individuals and societies.
- encourage students to analyse, interpret and evaluate meaning in
art and to use appropriate terminology in articulating these ideas.
Learning Experiences outside the Classroom
The Ministry of Education supports our programmes, which combine an
encounter with works of art followed by a practical workshop in our
ArtStudio. The programmes assist teachers in delivering the curriculum
by providing learning experiences in the unique environment provided by
the gallery and its displays.
We also ensure that our programmes are flexible enough to address the
achievement objectives at all levels and to facilitate learning across
the curriculum where appropriate.
