Would you like to learn new ways to encourage the creativity of the children in your family? Would you like to enable them to communicate their thoughts and ideas through art?
Learn how to move your adult -child communication beyond “that’s really interesting … tell me more” when you join Rosie, a highly regarded art educator, for a fun morning focused on exploring tips and techniques to develop creative expression in children.
Based on her real-life anecdotal stories, examples and images, Rosie will offer practical ideas that adults can use to build a child’s artistic confidence. Plus hands-on activities to build your confidence when interacting with the children in your family or professional life.
FRAMING THE LANDSCAPE IN MIXED MEDIA
with Gemma Rasdall
Saturday 14 June
9:30-3:30 (1 day)
Cost: $42 Members
$52 Non members

Join Gemma for a fun and expressive day of experimenting with mark making using a variety of media. All levels welcome, however basic painting skills are an advantage.
The Tasmanian landscape is alive with colours, shapes and textures that tell stories of place. We will set out to capture these stories through an exploration of the bushland surrounding the Mt Nelson studio.
Making studies from life, we will collect natural materials and record via notes and sketching to assist our artmaking in the studio and will explore a variety of mixed media to create a landscape painting.
Enhance your creativity while learning new techniques to curate a colour palette, build compositional skills, experiment with different mediums to create texture.
You will leave with a complete artwork and a sketchbook full of ideas based on the visual narrative of the bush landscape.
