Abstract

The Queensland Art Gallery's exhibitions and programs for children are nationally renowned. At the Children's Art Centre, we believe that encouraging the creative potential of every child is part of our core business. Through interactive opportunities, the Gallery creates a welcoming environment for children aged 0-8 years. Resources for early childhood audiences are developed to assist educators to provide meaningful Gallery visits for young children. Focusing on the Gallery's Collection, the resources build on young children's interests, prior knowledge and experiences to stimulate their curiosity about art.
