Spark the imagination, generate new ideas, and share thoughts in these lively online sessions about art for children aged 3 – 5 years and their parents and carers. In each session, children discover works of art from the NGV Collection and watch a demonstration of an art making activity that can be made at home or school using everyday materials.
This activity is suitable to join from home, kindergarten or playgroup. Groups are welcome to attend. Participation in the programs chat function is encouraged.
Under Fives | Family Trees
Families can be big, small, near, and far – there are all sorts of different families! In this activity, children can discover artworks from the NGV Collection about family and share some of their favourite family stories. We will talk about different types of families, celebrate different family dynamics and discuss what we like to do together.
This visual presentation and discussion will be followed by a demonstration of an art-making activity, which children can try at home or school using the Family Tree activity sheet. In this making activity children can practise drawing portraits of their family members and creating their own family tree.
