EARLY PRIMARY excursions

Art and culture have been displayed and enjoyed around the world for centuries – but never like this.

From the moment students enter THE LUME, a powerful and vibrant symphony of light, colour, sound and aroma immerses them in the artworks display – an experience that is simultaneously enchanting, entertaining and educational.

A school excursion to THE LUME Melbourne is unlike any other school trip; it’s a fully integrated multi-sensory experience that stimulates all the senses and opens the mind to inspire.

Primary program

The primary program has been developed with the intention of supporting a self-guided school excursion to Monet & Friends at THE LUME Melbourne.

Each class will be encouraged to organise an exhibition of their nature-inspired artwork and invite other students or members of the school community to view it, with each artist recording a commentary of their work to further invite engagement following the school excursion.

This project has been designed as an immersive, cross-curricular learning experience which may take up to a term to fully explore within the classroom, however teachers should fit the project within their scope and sequence as appropriate.

Learning intentions
Students will:
Gain a deep understanding of how the natural world inspires art and artists.
Explore and use a range of artistic techniques and materials to express their thoughts and ideas.
Respond to THE LUME Melbourne’s Monet & Friends experience excursion with artistic intention.
Resources will be provided when the school excursion booking is completed.

Secondary program

The secondary program has been developed with the intention of supporting a self-guided school excursion to Monet & Friends at THE LUME Melbourne through a visual arts project.

Pre-visit activities have been included to provide a ‘hook’ to the content presented. After the school excursion, teachers should present the aims of the project to their students, supporting their knowledge and understanding and refining their artistic skills with a range or all of the suggested post-visit activities, depending on students’ needs and abilities.

Although this is primarily a visual arts program, the activities offer depth and richness through an opportunity to develop the General Capabilities of Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability and Intercultural Understanding. The project also offers an opportunity to provide a culturally responsive curriculum experience through close alignment with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures Cross-Curriculum priority.

Students should keep a journal throughout their project, showing their research, evaluation and analyses of artworks, thinking process, and initial sketches or planning for their final artwork.
