Artists' books education kit

Another useful resource for teachers is the Artists’ Books Education Kit which consists of over 40 books. They have been selected with the aim of giving an overview of what an artist’s book can be. 

Artists' Books Education Kit notes [new window  556 kb] have been prepared by a teacher and include definitions, exercises, questions and links to allow teachers to prepare in advance of their visit.

Bookings are required to access the kit. Please phone 3840 7810 and ask to speak to a staff member of the Australian Library of Art Unit to arrange an appointment or a visit. A minimum of two weeks notice is preferred for student group visits.
