Little Artists: Sunrise and Sunset Watercolour Painting

In this Little Artists session, we will explore the current exhibition by Bill Young and Anita Laurence, paying attention to the beautiful, gradient coloured skies featured in Anita's work.

Inspired by these works, children will create their own sunrise and sunset painting through drawing, and painting using watercolour painting and wax resist techniques.

Materials: paper, crayons, watercolour paints.

Definitions and Learnings: This activity encourages exploration and hands on learning using a range of materials which develop fine motor skills. Thinking and feeling is also generated through viewing artworks and talking about our own environments and what we see.

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

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.
