These learning experiences are informed by The Hidden Line: Art of the Boyd Women museum season and are connected to the ideas, themes and material practices of the artists and artworks in this exhibition.
Museum Season Learning Activities:
Spark Ideas (1 hour)
Learners explore and respond to artworks on display in the Art Museum to spark ideas for related artmaking workshops. The exhibition spans painting and printmaking, sculpture and pottery, textiles, design, filmmaking and photography. Consideration is given to over 300 works showcasing the creative practices of five generations of Boyd women, including Emma Minnie Boyd, Doris Boyd, Mary Nolan, Yvonne Boyd, Lucy Boyd Beck, Hermia Boyd and their descendants still practicing today.
New commissions and recent work by contemporary Australian women artists are interspersed throughout the exhibition, including Pat Brassington, Elizabeth Dunn, Diena Georgetti, Helen Johnson, Narelle Jubelin, Camille Laddawan, Tjunkaya Tapaya and Timna Taylor.
Portraits: Beyond the line (2 hours)
Explore the essence of portraiture. Assemble an unconventional portrait of a woman important to you, paying particular attention to the iconic or characteristic elements of this important woman.
