PD | Gertrude Contemporary presents CAOTR+H at Gertrude Glasshouse

Contemporary Art on the Road + Home is a teacher professional development program founded to bring Gertrude Studio Artists, art educators and teachers together to exchange ideas, share creative experiences and explore contemporary art and culture. The program has been designed to introduce Primary and Secondary art teachers to a range of hands-on, expertly designed strategies and resources for teaching contemporary art in their classroom.

In 2019, CAOTR+H will journey to Shepparton Art Museum, Horsham Regional ArtGallery, Castlemaine Art Museum and present two workshops at our home locations Gertrude Glasshouse, Collingwood and Gertrude Contemporary, Preston South.

The first part of the program consists of formal presentations by educators from GertrudeContemporary, Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) and Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).

A presentation and hands-on workshop by Gertrude Studio Artist Jahnne Pasco-White will form the second part of the program. Thinking through a process based painting practice, Jahnne will lead the workshop experimenting with a selection of fabrics, pigments, dyes to create a series of painting collages.
