NGV and Macmillan Education Launch Art-Based English Learning Series for Secondary Students
The National Gallery of Victoria has collaborated with Macmillan Education to produce a new educational book series called 'Inspired English.' Designed for students in Years 7-10, the series uses artworks from the NGV collection to teach English, art, and critical thinking. The materials translate the gallery's in-person workshops into classroom lessons, aligning with Australian and Victorian curricula. The books feature full-color reproductions of selected works, including pieces by John Brack, Julie Dowling, Pablo Picasso, and Giambattista Tiepolo, and provide teachers with lesson plans, inquiry questions, and online resources.
