Making Pictures: Painting & Creating with Savannah Travia-Dann
Settle into a relaxed evening of colour, stories and mark-making as kids learn simple painting techniques and create their own vibrant artworks.
In this hands-on workshop, young artists will explore how shapes, lines and colours can tell stories about place, memory and the world around them. Guided by artist Savannah Travia-Dann, kids will warm up with drawing and colour-play activities before moving into a longer painting project on board or canvas. Each child will finish with a unique artwork to take home – a picture that holds their own way of seeing Country and community.
