FROM THE BUSH TO THE FOREST: DESIGNING CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR MUSEUMS IN FINLAND
This is a multi-disciplinary project delivered by academic staff and students across the Faculties of Education and Arts & Design at the University of Canberra, Australia. The culmination of this project is a study tour to Finland that includes an exhibition and pop-up art-making event for children and families at the Jyväskylä Art Museum.
University of Canberra students (working collaboratively across the disciplines of education, visual communication, architecture, interior design, industrial design and creative writing) will create an exhibition of artwork emergent from artist-led and place-based workshops in Canberra, Australia’s capital city. The exhibition will be installed in the Jyväskylä Art Museum. This exhibition focuses on the process of making art in response to the natural environment of Australia.
Whilst in Finland, the University of Canberra staff and students will collaborate in further hands-on workshops at multiple locations, co-led by Finnish academics. These will allow Finnish children and families to connect with an exhibition of Australian art, flora and fauna at the Jyväskylä Art Museum, on the 30th of May, from 9 to 11am.
