Cross-disciplinary learning and teaching methods: the influence of space on learning

This session will include creative making activities outside and discussion on the processes and outcomes of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between RMIT (Melbourne) interior design students, University of Canberra (UC) Primary Education Creative Arts Specialist students and the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) Learning team. The collaboration is a pilot program exploring and developing cross-disciplinary learning and teaching methods. The teachers from each institution and the education manager from the National Gallery brought to the collaboration their specific expertise; the influence of space on learning, thinking like an artist in the classroom, and lifelong learning through art.
