The Galnyatj! Inspire, Learn, Create Art program draws upon the Eight Ways of Learning, an Aboriginal-based pedagogy to deliver culturally appropriate and accessible learning outcomes for students to gain deeper understanding of south east Australian Aboriginal culture and heritage through art.
Kaiela Arts invites primary schools in the Kaiela Dungala (Goulburn Murray) region to book into our visual art program – Galnyatj! Inspire, Learn Create Art!

Our program supports learning across the humanities curriculum, general capabilities and in particular the Visual arts.
In Levels 5 and 6, students explore how and why artists, craftspeople and designers realise their ideas through different visual forms, practices and processes. They develop conceptual and expressive skills.
As they make and respond to visual artworks, students explore a diversity of ideas, concepts and viewpoints. They draw ideas from other artists, artworks, symbolic systems, beliefs and visual arts practices in other cultures, societies and times.
Students extend their understanding of safe visual arts practices and choose to use sustainable materials, techniques and technologies.
