Turner Student Learning Program
Turner is regarded as one of the greatest landscape painters. His poetic interpretation of
nature was revolutionary.
This exhibition provides students an insight into Turner’s ability to capture the atmospheric
impression of light, as well as life and events of the 18th century to mid-19th century. Students
can explore how Turner represented the turbulent times of slavery, migration, industrial
revolution, conflicts and modernisation.

Water Sustainability
Water is one of our most precious resources. It is essential for life and survival,
and also for cultural and artistic expression. Australia is the driest inhabited continent in the
world, and it is important that we protect this precious resource and ensure a sustainable water
future.This resource will take students to works of art that connect with the theme of water. Art
works about the sea, coast, rivers, creeks, lakes, and dams, as well as the fauna and flora
inhabiting these areas which serve as inspiration for artists, also provide a setting for, or
window on, social history and cultural traditions in our country.
Guided sessions: Free and available by arrangement
