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 kindergarten using everyday materials.
This activity is suitable to join from home, kindergarten or playgroup. Groups are welcome to attend. Participation in the program’s chat function is encouraged. Attendees’ microphones and cameras will be turned off.
Under 5s | How Are You Feeling?
Seeing red, feeling blue, or tickled pink! Feelings come in lots of colours, and so does art!
In this fun Under 5s session, children will look at silly faces and funny expressions in artworks from the NGV Collection. We’ll talk about how pictures can show feelings like happy, excited, grumpy, or surprised. We’ll even meet some animal friends. Children will see feisty cats in a Japanese artwork and an excited fish on a jug by the artist Pablo Picasso. Can animals have feelings too? Let’s find out together.
After looking and chatting about feelings and the artworks, everyone can enjoy a reading of a favourite picture book.
Accompanying this playful session will be an emotion-themed making activity to try at home or kindergarten.
