Term 2 Creative Learning Program
Look who dropped in!
Richard Goodwin’s Rhinoceros is more than just a sculpture—it is a conversation about memory, material, and the fragile balance between power and vulnerability. Through creative exploration, students can connect with its themes in meaningful ways, deepening their understanding of both art and the world around them.

Wonders of Hinton | On permanent display
Students are invited to view the new semipermanent exhibition Wonders of Hinton. Between 1929 and 1948 a collection of over 1000 artworks were donated to the newly constructed Armidale Teachers’ College by the retired shipping agent, Howard Hinton OBE (1866-1948). The collection provides a snapshot into Australian artistic practice in the early twentieth century as well as insight into colonial and post colonial Australia. Students and teachers are invited to a guided tour of the new exhibition and to participate in a storytelling exercise where in which students create a story with the paintings, this can be in pictures or words. Suitable for all ages from preschool onwards. Make an enquiry here >

Halfway Home: Bridie McKelvey | April 11 - June 8
Another great learning opportunity! Come and check out this solo exhibition of delightful and whimsical assemblages and dioramas representing a small escape from life’s hectic and sometimes harsh realities. We can organise an art activity for your students after viewing the exhibition.
Bridie McKelvey’s work takes seemingly mundane objects transforming them into intricate reimagined landscapes. Favoured materials include paper, tins, toys, beads, threads, old books, paper, found objects, wire and pressed flowers, that are applied with repetition throughout her work – continually toying with colour, balance and texture, and delivering on an objective that is purely decorative and designed to delight.
Pass the Print: An experimental collaboration with the Black Gully Printmakers | March 21 - May 4
This is an incredible opportunity to combine a series of subjects and key learning areas all in one stop!
Students will have the choice of either a printmaking or an artmaking activity, both of which explore the concept of collaboration.
For an additional activity for younger students, enquire about the Pass the Stamp printmaking activity.
