Art Gallery of Ballarat – Art Explorers

During school holidays, the Art Gallery of Ballarat's Art Explorers program invites children and teens to discover the strange creatures in their online exhibition Great and Small.

From giant neon elephants to tiny fish and curious white-footed rabbit rats, young artists will explore artworks featuring animals of all shapes and sizes, finding inspiration to create their own original works.

Through hands-on experimentation with scale and proportion, participants will be encouraged to think, imagine and work like artists. Alongside practising artists and experienced educators, they will have the freedom to explore materials, discover new techniques and bring their creative ideas to life.

Choose from age-appropriate sessions for six to eight year olds, nine to 12 year olds and 13 to 15 year olds.
