SIXTY EDUCATION KIT

This Education Kit is designed for use by teachers across all levels of education and to extend knowledge and enrich the exhibition experience. 

The Education Kit takes key themes from SIXTY: The Journal of Australian Ceramics 60th Anniversary 1962-2022 including published stories, artworks and a diverse range of engaging activities.  

The activities in this resource are designed for students of all ages and abilities. Themes such as storytelling, community, function, environment and creativity have been expanded for their relatability. Activities can be adapted to suit a range of different educational environments and are not limited to students studying ceramics. 

The aim of the Education Kit is to extend students’ understanding of the themes as well as awakening creativity in imaginative and factual writing through research, interacting with objects, making, drawing, sharing and exhibiting work. 

How to use this Education Kit

This Education Kit is divided into two parts: 
Part One focuses on the artists and works in the exhibition with a range of activities focused on writing, drawing, making and sharing work through conversation, stories, research and exhibition-making. 
Part Two explores magazine making including resources on creating a magazine inspired by The Journal of Australian Ceramics
