A creative workshop exploring the magic of light
Step into a radiant world of colour, curiosity, and creativity in this hands-on school holiday workshop inspired by the beauty and science of light.
Through playful experiments and artistic exploration, you’ll discover how light travels, bends, reflects, and reveals colour, unlocking the secrets behind the images we see and the art we create.
Explore the timeless art of image-making, from ancient techniques to modern marvels, blending science and creativity in a fun three-hour workshop.
What to Expect:
- Learn how light behaves through fun experiments
- Create unique sun prints
- Explore the photographic images in the Origins gallery
- Explore light and colour using prisms
This Drop and Leave program will light up your day!
Drop and Leave Holiday Programs
Drop and leave programs enable children and young people to experience the Museum independently, discover and learn something new in an area of interest and access materials and resources that would not normally be available at home. All programs are managed and monitored by our experienced Learning and Engagement staff.
