Get ready for a fun and creative art session designed especially for young people aged 5 to 15. This Art Club event invites children to explore the element of shape and discover how simple shapes can be transformed into complex animal drawings. With guidance from an art educator from the State Library of NSW joining online, kids will be inspired to unleash their creativity and develop their drawing skills.
This engaging session is perfect for parents looking to nurture their child's artistic talents in a supportive and interactive environment. The activity encourages imagination while teaching fundamental art techniques that can be used again and again.
The Art Club session runs for one hour, from 16:00 to 17:00 on Thursday, 6 August 2026. It will be held in the Conference Room on Level 2 of the Stanton Library. Due to lift maintenance, please be aware that access to Level 2 requires climbing four flights of stairs.
Bookings are essential to secure a spot, ensuring a well-organized and enjoyable experience for all participants. The event is free of charge, making it an accessible opportunity for families in the North Sydney area.
The event takes place at Stanton Library, located at 234 Miller Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060. The Conference Room on Level 2 is the venue, but please note that due to ongoing lift maintenance from late July, access to this level is only possible via stairs.
Parents should prepare for this physical access requirement when planning their visit. The library is a welcoming community space, ideal for young learners and their families to gather and engage in creative activities.
This session is tailored for children aged 5 to 15 years, providing age-appropriate instruction and activities. The presence of an art educator from the State Library of NSW online adds a unique and enriching dimension to the workshop.
Participants will learn about the element of shape in art and how to apply it to drawing animals, building foundational skills that support artistic growth.
Due to the limited accessibility to Level 2, families with mobility concerns should consider this when registering.
The event is free to attend, but places are limited and bookings are essential. Early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment.
To book, families can contact the North Sydney Council or visit the Stanton Library website for more details. This no-cost event offers a wonderful opportunity to engage children in art without financial barriers.
