The educational resources that have been developed for learners of all ages to use while engaging with artworks in the Wits Art Museum make use of learner-centered, activity-based teaching practices in which learning is understood as embodied, experiential and situated.

The education resources are underpinned by constructivist theories of teaching and learning which conceive of learners as active learning agents who construct their knowledge through making sense of their experiences in the world in and beyond the classroom.

The education resources are designed as interactive booklets in which participants record their responses to the artworks on exhibition in multiple ways. The booklets are only ‘complete’ once the learners contribute to the text by inserting their opinions, drawings, and recording their personal engagement in their books.
