Online regional connect Kandinsky

Learn about the life and art of one of the most influential European modernists, Vasily Kandinsky, in a live online presentation based on the exhibition Kandinsky. Year 8 – S4 Year 9 – S5 Year 11 – S6 Year 12 – S6 Online regional connect Kandinsky Bring the Art Gallery of New South Wales and our special exhibitions to your classroom with online regional connect.

Secondary visual arts students from regional, rural and remote schools in NSW are invited to join us online for a presentation dedicated to Vasily Kandinsky.

What is Vasily Kandinsky’s contribution to the invention of European abstract art? How did he intend for his paintings to be understood? During the one-hour live session held via Zoom, you’ll hear from Art Gallery staff about the life and art of one of the most influential European modernists. Together we unpack key artworks in the exhibition to understand the development of Kandinsky’s practice and the context in which they were made. Reflecting on the artist’s art and ideas, students learn about the origins of the abstract art and the ways in which it can be interpreted.

This program is free and open to all regional, rural and remote schools in NSW.

Butterfly Science!

Journey into the world of butterflies with a butterfly scientist! Year 3 – S2 Year 4 – S2 Year 5 – S3 Year 6 – S3 Year 7 – S4 Year 8 – S4 Year 9 – S5 Year 10 – S5 Butterfly Science! Join us for a journey into the world of butterflies, led by a real-life butterfly scientist!

Delve into the differences between butterflies and moths, unravel the secrets of their vibrant colours, and explore their diverse world within the landscapes of Australia. Gain insights into the critical role butterflies play in ecosystems and learn how you can contribute to their conservation.

This session will be led by Marilia Fernandes Erickson who is a PhD candidate at Macquarie University. Currently her research is on aposematism (the use of warning coloration to tell potential predators that an animal is poisonous, venomous, or dangerous) in butterfly and moth communities. To do that, Marilia has been running around Australia with a butterfly catching net to figure out where these beautifully coloured butterflies are, and if their distribution and abundancy is dependent on factors like climate, predation, or mimics.
