Little Artists: Art in a box

In this session, Little Artists will create a unique art piece in a box, using assemblage and collage techniques. A flower arrangement, a rocket flying in space, or maybe a bird sitting on a tree, each artist will decide what image they create. Inspired by our dreams or everyday places we love, the artwork will be cherished in this box!

Materials:  paper, cardboard, cut out shapes, natural materials, fabrics, glue, scissors, felt pens.

Definitions and Learnings: This activity encourages learning through story telling, as well as developing fine motor skills using a variety of applications, techniques and tools to assemble the artworks. Children will learn to cut, paste, and place different shapes and materials to create an image.

Ages: For pre-school aged children and their parents/carers

Cost: FREE

Where: Pop-Up Benalla Art Gallery, 75 Bridge St.

Benalla Art Gallery’s Little Artists program is developed specifically for pre-school children. We use games, story-telling and creative activities to encourage young children, and their parents and carers, to have fun while learning about art.

Sessions are free and are scheduled for the first week of each month from February to December.
