Abstract

Providing a new direction in the delivery of arts education in the Hume region, Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) partnered with Numurkah Primary School to deliver a 20 week ceramic art project during semester 2. SAM education staff and renowned artists have worked with Numurkah teachers to inspire creative ideas in art making and skills development while promoting social engagement and personal learning through the arts. Selected Little Treasures from each student will be on display at the Launch Party of Shepparton Art Museum on Saturday 18 February 2012 until April 2012. With the reopening of the Art Museum students will be further encouraged to run some of their own workshops and exhibition tours for the general public. A Little Treasures exhibition catalogue will also be published. The Little Treasures: Exploring Ourselves Through Clay program, was funded through Arts Victoria's, Education Partnerships: Extended School Residencies program. It is one of seven successful arts based proposals to receive funding and support through this program in 2011. [Gallery publicity]
