What does creative practice look like in Melbourne today? Melbourne Now will provide students with a thought-provoking introduction to contemporary art and design, and rich opportunities to explore and discuss diverse ideas, perspectives and art forms. This educator-led program will engage students in discussion and analysis of a range of works in the exhibition such as Lee Darroch’s 10-metre-long installation made from driftwood collected on Country and Georgia Bank’s Databaes, where a chatbot hopes to fall in love.

Learning Objectives 

  • Analyse and discuss different forms of expression, ideas and perspectives of contemporary artists and designers
  • Discuss how artists and designers use materials, techniques, technologies and processes to realise their intentions in their work
