Making a connection

Create a Conversation with Art – an Art Start Activity

Activity objective: to encourage thinking and communication about creative connections between artworks. 

Classroom Activity

Choose an artwork that interests you from the NGV Art Start - Image bank

Investigate this artwork using the Art Start model for investigating art.

Now identify another artwork from the NGV Collection that you think makes an interesting connection with the first artwork. It could be that each takes a different approach to the same subject, or that there is some other strong connection between the works.

Create a short presentation (written or spoken) introducing the two artworks and explaining the connection you are making between the two artworks.
