Animal Portraits Inspired by Old Masters with artist Shonah Trescott for 8-12 year olds
July 10 | 10:00 am — 11:30 am AEST
In this workshop, children aged 8-12 will explore the world of art by creating contemporary animal portraits inspired by old master paintings. Through hands-on activities, they’ll learn gesture drawing and painting techniques, fostering creativity and appreciation for both classical and modern art forms.
Participants learn to appreciate the artistry of old master paintings while gaining hands-on experience in gesture drawing and painting techniques to create their own contemporary animal portraits, fostering creativity, observation skills, and artistic expression. Through exploration and experimentation, they develop a deeper understanding of art history, composition, and the role of animals in visual storytelling.
