School Holiday Workshops: Extreme Arts
Week two dates: 9—11 April 2024
Event Information

Week two of our popular School Holiday Arts Program, with an incredible line-up of artists and engaging activities for kids (6-12 years).

The Extreme Arts program runs for three exciting days. Each day, children engage in a rotation through three workshops led by experienced professional artists and assistant teachers. Classes are grouped by age, ensuring every child receives support to explore and express their creative abilities.

Each day, kids do the following workshops:

1. This is definitely not a box
What is a box? A gift or surprise? A delivery of something new or storage for something old? Join the indirect Object artists to transform everyday cardboard boxes into works of art. Using creative 3D design skills participants work alone or in small groups to deconstruct and reimagine, there’s only one rule – the box can be anything you want, but it can’t be a box anymore.

2. Colourful Pet Portraits
Join Prince to create expressive and colourful pet portraits! Come learn some skills while capturing your furry friend. An opportunity to learn some fundamentals in representational painting or to just enjoy the process of creating art and have some fun. Express your love for all things furry, feathered or scaly!

3. Cypher
Cypher is a Freestyle dance workshop that gives kids the ability to shine: showing their cool moves and dance battling with each other. We will do warmups, dance games, musical freeze and learn new moves. We will have team dance battles and solos are optional! No dance experience necessary- just a great way to move your body, learn about dance and have fun!
