Ngarn Wa'ngal Teacher resource pack

For each Potter Museum of Art exhibition, the Learning Experiences Team creates an accompanying resource to support teachers in tailoring and extending the student experience before, during and after a visit.

For a maximised learning experience at the Potter, teachers must properly prepare themselves and students to engage meaningfully and in culturally safe, responsive ways with Ngarn Wa’ngal: Art of the gum tree.

As this may be the first museum or gallery learning experience for some educators and students, it is especially helpful to explore expectations and discuss what to anticipate beforehand.

How to use this resource

• It is recommended that teachers read this entire pack to plan your trip to the exhibition alongside the Schools Risk Assessment

• This resource includes artwork labels, discussion points and interdisciplinary

curriculum connections to 5 key works in the exhibition.

• Before and After visit activities are recommended for students to deep dive

into exhibition themes.

• VCE Art Making and Exhibiting groups are provided an additional online resource tailored for aligning units and outcomes.
