LAMBERT 14  \nGORDON BENNETT 19  \nRATIONALE  \nThe revised 2017–20 VCE Literature Study Design requires students to actively engage with literary perspectives. While the study design does not prescribe particular literary theories, it does insist that students analyse literary criticism reflecting different perspectives of the text studied. The objective is to broaden understanding of the numerous ways that a text can be read, thereby providing an opportunity for students to acquire more original, complex and sophisticated readings of literature. Studying literary criticism unravels a history of ideas that will make students conscious of the ways in which gender, race, sexuality and social class intersect with both texts and their own lives. Considering literary perspectives does not diminish the merit of an aesthetic reading but rather adds new layers of understanding, revealing that our interpretation of a text is always dependent on the lens through which we view it, and that truth is a construction.  \nAnalysing literary criticism or reading a text through a different lens can be a challenging and daunting way to begin; students often find it useful to do this visually. Art invites the sorts of analytical and critical thinking skills crucial to close reading. We are immersed in visual language, and as such it is imperative that we teach our students to become critically aware of what they see. Through the process of visual literacies, students can learn to read carefully and consider what is seen and what is not seen. In doing so, they can begin to verbalise their thoughts and formulate meaningful questions. They can develop transferable skills that will help them analyse, scrutinise and interrogate their observations. Engaging with the NGV Collection is an ideal way to teach these skills to students. Works of art at the National Gallery of Victoria can provide students with the opportunity to cultivate an understanding of literary perspectives using a visual approach. Applying theories to deconstruct works of art can challenge initial perceptionsand broaden understandings and interpretations. If students can use this knowledge to read visual works of art, they will acquire the confidence to identify use of theory when reading literary criticism and learn to evaluate these ideas when developing their own responses. The NGV in partnership with VATE has developed an indispensable program for both teachers and students that provides an introduction to literary perspectives and demonstrates practical ways to negotiate theory in the classroom.  \nLITERARY PERSPECTIVES  \nIt would be helpful to familiarise students with literary perspectives prior to visiting the NGV. Once students acquire knowledge of these theories, they will be able to recognise how writers use these lenses to deconstruct texts. Some of the literary perspectives that will be introduced in the NGV program include:  \nFeminist criticism  \nMarxist criticism  \nPostcolonial criticism  \nPostmodern criticism  \nNew Historicist criticism  \nPsychoanalytic criticism  \nHOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE WITH VCE LITERATURE TEXTS  \nEngaging with original works of art in the Gallery adds another dimension to exploring the literary perspectives. NGV educators regularly offer programs for VCE Literature students and teachers, and are also delighted to negotiate programs specifically tailored to an individual school’s curriculum.
