Dive into the fundamentals of visual art with this engaging online series designed especially for primary school children. Each term, an NGV educator guides students through a different art element such as colour, line, shape, texture, form, and tone, helping them understand how artists use these elements to express ideas and emotions.
The sessions are interactive and encourage creativity, with children invited to participate in hands-on activities using simple materials like drawing paper, coloured pencils, graphite pencils, and glue sticks. This program is perfect for sparking curiosity and nurturing artistic skills from the comfort of home.
This free program is delivered live online via WebEx, with sessions scheduled each term focusing on specific art elements. Each session runs for 45 minutes in the morning, making it easy to fit into your child's school day or after-school routine.
The program supports the Victorian and Australian Visual Arts Curricula, helping children from Foundation to Year 6 explore and develop their artistic practices. Recordings of each session are available for the remainder of the term, allowing flexible access.
The series is entirely online, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Sessions are hosted live via WebEx, and booking is required to receive the access link.
This format makes it ideal for families across Australia who want to engage their children in quality art education without the need to travel. Prepare simple art supplies at home to participate fully in the creative activities.
