GoMA Kids APT7 on Tour 9 April 2013 - Comic Art

Locals were welcomed to the Elizabeth Guzsely Gallery where we held a:
Comic Book Art Session to drawn in or glue cut outs onto comic templates using art materials provided by GoMA Kids APT7 on Tour. 
They made a story in a comic style by drawing comic characters with various pencils and marker pens. The kids had loads of fun and left eager to do even more cartooning! 

 Hahan and friends provided for Regional Queensland kids and families to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Asia Pacific Triennial series by participating in Kids’ APT7 on Tour with Indonesian artist Hahan (Uji Handoko Eko Saputro) developing a richly illustrated activity book, presented in a format appealing to kids. 

Kids received a copy of the activity book to try their hand at creating a comic style self-portrait, flip book, comic strip or even design their own t-shirt.

GoMA Kids APT7 on Tour 8 April 2013 - 'Persian for Kids'

GoMA Kids APT7 on Tour 8 April 2013

GoMA Kids APT7 on Tour - Persian for kids 2012 at Elizabeth Guzsely Gallery Saturday 8 April 2013 was a lot of fun. 

Cooktown Kids had the chance to try the art activity by artist Parastou Forouhar titled 'Persian for Kids'. Using Farsi script cutouts and animal templates kids created zoomorphic images. The Farsi script filled the animal shape with texture to form a compelling image. 

We also used the multimedia activity. Kids manipulated Farsi script and animal silhouettes on the computer to create their own zoomorphic image and watched their Farsi creature become animated. The creature they created was then shared with friends and family via email.

Also some drawing and younger kids did colour mixing - fun creating the colour of 'skin' and 'blood' by themselves via experimentation. Also glass painting with translucent paints and small battery powered tea lights inserted in glass as night lights. Fun day! Thanks kids for all your enthusiasm and talent :-)

Kids Art Session 2 Feb 2013 - Polymer Clay Modelling

There isn't a kid out there that doesn't enjoy molding, sculpting and squishing clay. These days, the clays of choice for kids' extends to many types and colours.  The polymer modeling clays feel like natural clay and stay soft at room temperature, but can be easily hardened by air-drying or in a kitchen oven instead of a high-temperature kiln.  More photos on Facebook Album!

Cooktown kids are quite talented when it come to making models.  We love seeing their creations. To do the same you'll need modeling clay in an assortment of colors, shaping tools, wires and alfoil for larger models a great imagination and time!  Have a go!

Cute penguins, a tank, a giraffe, a wolf, a rose bouquet, a face, hearts and a bear made by kids attending art session at galley Saturday.  Modeling clay is a great activity or craft that depending on the child's age can develop tactile and fine motor skills development for the little ones, and three dimensional/sculptural learning for the bigger ones!
