School Holiday Program - Urban Wildlife Sketchbook
Description
Urban Wildlife Sketchbook invites children to slow down, observe, and celebrate the wildlife that shares our urban environment through art and creativity. Guided by a qualified art teacher, participants will explore local wildlife and habitats while experimenting with a range of artistic techniques and media.
Through observation, artistic expression, and discussion, children will discover what wildlife lives in our cities, where they live, and how wildlife and people coexist in shared spaces.
Designed for children who enjoy both creativity and nature discovery, this program encourages participants to see the natural world through new eyes while developing confidence in their artistic skills.
The session is for children aged 8–12 due to the level of independence, observation, and creative tasks involved. The program cost includes materials, and each participant will receive their own sketchbook.
Every great conservation story begins with connection! Through art, observation, and imagination, participants will develop a deeper appreciation for the wildlife that shares our city and be empowered to celebrate, care for, and protect the environment around them.
