Clay on Country
ceramics from the central desert
This education material has been produced by Artback NT to coincide with the exhibition Clay on Country, ceramics from the central desert. It has been designed to engage students with the key artistic concerns and practices of the artists in the exhibition through suggested activities for both the gallery and the classroom and in reference to the National Visual Arts Curricula.
We recommend using this resource in conjunction with the Clay on Country exhibition catalogue which includes statements from all the exhibiting artists, full colour pictures and introductory essays.
