ELTHAM JAZZ, FOOD + WINE FESTIVAL
Set amongst the hustle and bustle of the Jazz Festival our workshops all sold out. Kids made their own guitars and banjo's - adding their own style and flair! Kids also learned about chambers and acoustics, with the sights and sounds of the Jazz festival buzzing in the background.
WILD THINGS!
Kids watched an animation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, as inspiration for considering set design. They made their own theatrical headpiece, and collaborated to make a set for a Wild Things! photoshoot.
Student comments
I learnt more here than I do at school! 12 year old.
I loved being able to choose my own materials to make the headpiece. There were so many interesting things to use! 11 year old.
WILD THNGS @ PICKWIT + SPROUT
Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, brings to life how powerful strong emotions can be, & illustrates how imagination can solve life's problems. This workshop combined social emotional themes with creative artmaking. Kids used textiles & and collage to create their own Max crown and tail, and pastels and watercolour to draw their own Wild Things monster.
FOOTY FEVER
This workshop designed especially for fans of AFL and AFLW sold out!
It was so exciting to see kids engaging in art through a passion for sport. Kids made their own Giacometti inspired footy player sculptures and designed a giant sized footy card, and I'm pretty sure we'll be running this workshop again sometime soon!
