The annual 'Creative Generation Excellence Awards in
Visual Art and Design' exhibition, organised by the
Department of Education, Training and the Arts, continued
to recognise and promote the outstanding achievements
of art students from Queensland secondary schools.
The 2008 exhibition at GoMA (20 March – 15 June 2008)
featured a selection of 50 works chosen from 500 entries
from across the state, including from regional and remote
communities.
The Gallery's Look Out teacher program involved
Queensland teachers in an ongoing program of
professional development opportunities centred on the
Gallery's exhibitions and Collection. Workshops and
information sessions explored curriculum links with
'Andy Warhol' and 'Picasso & his collection'. Resources,
including the online Design Your Own Tour interactive,
assisted teachers in touring the Gallery's Collection with
their students and meeting curriculum objectives.
The New Wave program assisted students to access the
'Andy Warhol' and 'Picasso & his collection' exhibitions
through competitions, exhibition viewings, talks and
forums. Guided tours by Gallery staff were offered for
university groups.
