ART SMART - KIDS SUMMER HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS Become a Philosopher and Artist at ACCA! Take a fun tour through the colour burst world of the Pipilotti Rist exhibition, followed by a Philosophy of Art workshop. These funny and enlightening sessions use contemporary art as a stimulus for philosophical discussion and get your child to grapple with the question ‘what is art?’ And, you will be surprised by their answers! Then it’s time for a MAKE session, where children create an artwork based on the exhibition. Through haptic learning, art and philosophical concepts, ideas begin to fall into place. ACCA is an art laboratory of ideas – so inspire your child to be inquisitive through the endless possibilities of contemporary art. For ages 6-10, parents are welcome to attend $15 per child, adults free Session times: Tuesday 17 January 10-11.30am & 1.30-3pm Wednesday 18 January 10-11.30am & 1.30-3pm Tuesday 24 January 10-11.30am & 1.30-3pm Wednesday 25 January 10-11.30am & 1.30-3pm BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL Contact ACCA on 03 9697 9999 or email programs@accaonline.org.au
