Young artists transform natural treasures into a stunning 3D eucalyptus-themed shadow box using a mix of watercolour painting, origami, and design techniques.
Children will take inspiration from special exhibition Kalyagul: Connections to Menang Country and then paint, fold, design, and create a beautiful eucalyptus shadow box filled with leaves, bark, nuts, and seed pods. They'll learn watercolour techniques, origami, and design principles while making a unique 3D artwork to display at home.
They'll explore the natural beauty of eucalyptus leaves, nuts, bark, and seed pods while learning how artists use colour, balance, texture, and composition to create eye-catching displays.
Each participant will take home a beautiful 3D artwork that's ready to proudly display at home. Perfect for creative kids who love art, nature, and hands-on making!
Participants aged 12 and under must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian.
All required materials will be provided.
