Students use their five senses to explore colour in the Gallery spaces through search games and movement activities. Back in the studio, students create abstract paintings inspired by different types of music.
Abstract Memories (ages 9+)

In the Gallery, investigate the work of Alex Janvier through discussions and drawing activities. In the studio, work to explore concepts of memory and abstraction with experimental drawing and painting techniques that explore colour, abstraction, line and form.
