Using the NGV to Teach is a series of free online programs introducing ideas and strategies for incorporating art and design into teaching and learning across the curriculum. Presented by NGV educators.

In April, discover how art can be a meaningful tool for exploring religion, belief, identity, and values. Explore artworks that reflect Judeo-Christian and Catholic traditions alongside works representing other faith traditions, and discover opportunities for inquiry, comparison and respectful discussion in the classroom. This session is designed for teachers and pre-service teachers across all year levels and offers practical ways to connect artworks with Religious Education contexts, encouraging students to explore faith, culture, history and diverse perspectives through visual art.

Teachers will

  • Explore how artworks can communicate religious beliefs, stories, traditions and values
  • Analyse and interpret artworks from Judeo-Christian, Catholic and other faith traditions
  • Apply practical strategies for using visual art to support learning in Religious Education contexts
