• • selecting and presenting their own artworks for exhibitions in class, in the school or in the wider community
• • planning and curating exhibitions of their own work, community installations, projects or imagined exhibitions of artworks by other artists, considering, as appropriate, Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights
• • developing material to accompany exhibitions, such as didactic panels, artists’ or curatorial statements, branding, advertising or press statements
• • visiting and evaluating exhibitions of work in physical or virtual galleries, museums or in community sites in order to identify options for presenting their own exhibitions
• • developing responses to exhibitions of work; for example, in written/oral/multimedia explanations or reviews, digital forms of presentations or in verbal/vocal discussions
• • constructing explanations of how artists, designers, architects or craftspeople communicate ideas and meaning in artworks, written discussions, annotated images, debates or digital presentations; evaluating options/preferences and using similar approaches when creating their own work, and creating an artist statement or curatorial statement
