Is it a bird? A flock of words? Or a poem?!
In this fun-filled workshop, be inspired by the exhibition ‘Fly Fly!: Sidney Nolan’s Birds’ to play with rhyme and words, and create a bird. Then add your bird to the flock - and your words to the poem!
Local artist and poet Akka Ballenger Constantin will lead a creative process of crafting rhymes and using age-appropriate drawing and collage activities to create paper birds.
Making rhymes is a great way to bond and build vocabulary. Through word play, children learn how to express themselves, and use language in an imaginative and playful way, enhancing their overall communication skills.
Come along, enjoy the flight and let your child’s imagination soar with Nolan’s birds!
This Workshop starts in the ‘Fly, Fly!: Sidney Nolan Bird’s’ exhibition for a walk through.
