The mad square education kit
This education kit has been developed to help Year 7–12 students engage with the issues and ideas in the exhibition The mad square: modernity in German art 1910-37.
Each of the themes or rooms in the exhibition has a focus work, with issues for consideration for Year 7-12 Visual Arts students.
The content of these pages is also available as a PDF, which includes A4-size reproductions of the artworks. The PDFs for the Modern history and German language supplements are provided separately.
