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 | Look Outside
Under 5s: Look Outside takes young children on a walk through nature – through the eyes of artists from around the world. Children will discover the plants, animals, and landscapes featured in the NGV Collection, from emu chicks and goannas on Carol Panangka Rontji’s vase to blooming wattle in Jenny Kee’s vibrant fashion. They’ll also explore forest creatures on display in the current free NGV Kids exhibition Plans for the Planet: Olaf Breuning for Kids.
The session includes a reading of My Nature Book with Olaf Breuning and finishes with a nature-inspired activity to continue at home or in the classroom. Perfect for curious young minds and their grown-ups.
