Dive into a vibrant world of colors and creativity with our Paint the Rainbow workshop. Designed especially for children aged 6 to 12, this workshop offers a playful exploration of painting techniques inspired by famous artists like Matisse. Kids will enjoy painting wildflower pots, rainbows, and tropical jungles, sparking their imagination and artistic skills.
This is a perfect opportunity for your child to experiment with textures and colors in a supportive environment. Whether your child is a budding artist or just loves to get messy with paint, this workshop promises fun and learning.
Parents can relax knowing all materials are provided, except for art smocks or aprons, so be sure to dress your child in clothes that can get colorful!
The workshop is facilitated by Skye Andrew, a talented artist with a Diploma of Fine Art from the National Art School. Skye brings her passion for art and the outdoors, creating engaging art experiments suitable for primary school children.
Children under 9 years old must be accompanied by a parent or carer who will stay on-site during the session. The workshop runs for 1.5 hours, providing ample time for creative expression and hands-on activities.
This event is ideal for school holiday fun, combining education and entertainment in a relaxed setting.
The workshop takes place at The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre, located at 78 Flushcombe Rd, Blacktown 2148. The venue is accessible and family-friendly, offering a welcoming space for children and their carers.

Public transport and parking options are available nearby, making it easy to plan your visit.
