The HAP Education resource has been designed to help teachers identify entry points for students from upper primary through to senior secondary to consider a range of viewpoints and perspectives through which the HAP finalists’ artworks can be explored and interpreted.

This resource is intended for years F-10 and in it, we use the Australian Curriculum: The Arts: Visual Arts (Version 9.0)

The activities within the resource have been designed to help teachers align those explorations to aspects of the Australian Curriculum that can be embedded within their art teaching/learning programs for assessment and reporting purposes.

This iteration of the HAP Education resource also flags opportunities where teachers can support their students’ development of skills and understanding integral to the Australian Curriculum General Capabilities (GCs). Whilst opportunities to explore the GCs are highlighted, these are certainly not offered as finite or inflexible.

In using this education resource, AEA encourages teachers to exercise their agency and preferences in how they might like to approach the activities outlined in this resource. AEA also acknowledges that art teachers are in the best position to make decisions around how their students’ learning experience should be structured to maximise engagement, and ensure that the activities they undertake reflect the priorities, needs and interests of their individual students and school context.

In addition to the GCs, there is also scope for teachers to further tailor the activities for their students to enable inquiry into the Australian Curriculum Cross-Curriculum Priorities (CCP’s - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures; Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia; and Sustainability). Depending upon the topics, themes and media the exhibiting finalists work with, teachers will no doubt identify many opportunities to further tailor the activities in this resource to explore the CCPs with their students.

AEA encourages all those teachers who might consider exploring CCPs, particularly those relating to aspects of cultural perspectives and histories to do so collaboratively. Opportunities to connect with their local First Nations communities should be pursued. Such collaborations are integral to the ways we translate and contextualise activities to resonate with the histories, practices and stories of the Country upon which teachers work with their students. Links to a suite of community protocol resources can be found in the Resources/References section of this document. This list is not in any way exhaustive and will continue to evolve as further resources become available. The following section provides a summary of how the General Capabilities are evident in the Arts.

Click here to go to a comprehensive Padlet with Educational resources connected to the 2025 Hadley's Art Prize finalists.

There are resources for children and students from Birth to Senior Secondary. Suggestions for Visual Arts learning experiences have been developed in collaboration with practicing educators across all year levels.

The developers recognise you, the educators, as the experts in knowing your students and your context. The suggestions we propose are intended to be starting points for you to build on and develop further. As you engage with the resource, we invite you to contribute your own ideas to the Padlet, to create a conversation between Hadley's art prize, the resource developers, educators and students. As such we hope for this to become a living resource.

The team at Hadley's Art Prize and Art Education Australia acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community as the traditional owners of Lutruwita (Tasmania), and pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We acknowledge that Hadley’s Orient Hotel is on the country of the Muwinina people of Nipaluna (Hobart). We respect and value the history, culture and strength of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

Hadley's Orient Hotel, born from a convict's ambition in 1862, became a haven for Tasmanian art. Under the Hadleys, it transformed into a Hotel and Gallery, hosting exhibitions, weaving art into the hotel's very essence. Which is now remembered, embraced and thriving through the Hadley's Art Prize.

# data[].attributes.body
Step inside a 23-minute journey through our Padlet part map, part memory, part provocation.
This is not just a walkthrough. It's a conversation across practices, a gentle unraveling of how curriculum can live, breathe, and be made alongside contemporary art.
With voices from classroom and gallery, mentor and mentee, we invite you to see what curriculum can become.

A Curriculum That Walks with Art
What if curriculum wasn’t static, but storied?
Join us for a slow walk through Living Hadley’s Curriculum a Padlet built in dialogue with the Hadley’s Art Prize and designed for teachers, artists, and learners to move within and beyond.
Our 23-minute video isn’t just a how-to, it’s a why-now.

From Canvas to Curriculum: A Living Walkthrough
We built a Padlet that teaches with art, not just about it.
In this video, we guide you through how Living Hadley’s Curriculum can spark new ways of seeing, feeling, and teaching in the Visual Arts classroom.
Watch it to find your way or to lose yourself for a little while in what curriculum might yet be.

Enter the Padlet Spiral: A Living Curriculum Tour
This isn’t a standard walkthrough.
It’s a 23-minute shared conversation between educators, artists, and the Hadley's curator exploring how curriculum can be as layered, messy, and alive as art itself.
Watch to encounter a curriculum that spirals, connects, and invites you in.
