Designed to accompany the Botticelli to Van Gogh exhibition and audio tour is a learning resource tool featuring a selection of masterpieces that have defined Western art history. With creative and critical thinking exercises for each painting, you can develop and share your own selections or use one of the four theme-based selections curated by the Gallery’s Education team.

When you create a selection of works especially for your classes your tailored selection will be sent to you via an email which gives you the option to share, edit, view as a slideshow and download images.

How To Guide Create your Selection

Our curated theme selections include ‘Look, Think & Create’ provocations and relate to the Australian Curriculum.
