In this Little Artists session, participants will explore portraiture and collage.

Participants will identify different approaches to portrait creations and use their creativity to arrange a collage that depicts a person, animal or creature.

Materials: Paper, glue, stickers

Definitions and Learnings: This activity encourages the development of fine motor skills and colour recognition, as well as the ability to identify and make shapes to form an image. Children will learn about the elements of portraiture and different portrait types including self-portrait, portraits of others and animals. Children will also learn about abstract art and realism.

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

Cost: FREE

Registration essential

Where: Benalla Art Gallery, Patricia [Pat] Gardner Studio

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.
