Learning Resources

Learning resources encourage research and exploration of works of contemporary art featured in our exhibition program and throughout the UTS Art Collection.

Accessible, interactive and syllabus-linked content includes exhibition information, video interviews with artists and curators, contextual information about artists and their work, quotes, related links and suggested classroom activities.

Resources may be used in the classroom to compliment a tour or workshop, or for independent research and exploration by students and teachers. Online resources are searchable by tags linking art forms and key ideas.
