GUIDES
Education Study Guides have been developed by the Australian
Teachers of Media (ATOM) for the Experimenta Playground, Experimenta House of Tomorrow and Experimenta
Vanishing Point exhibitions. They contain full-colour images, brief descriptions
of the works and artist biographies. You can download each guide for
free, or contact Experimenta to request a copy to be emailed to you.
Suitable
for both Primary and Secondary students the Guides provide activities
before, during and after the gallery visit that extend the learners’ appreciation
of the themes of the exhibitions and the processes used by the
artists to create the works.
At tertiary level the material is relevant to courses
within Fine Arts, Music, Social Sciences, Cinema, Multimedia, Design
and Architecture.
