Programme Overview:

Step into a world where art moves and dreams come alive! Dynamic Duos – Art in Motion explores the vibrant connection between Alexander Calder and Joan Miró, two artists who celebrated play, movement, and the magic of abstract shapes. Calder’s kinetic sculptures and Miró’s surreal designs are a perfect match, blending bold, expressive motion with whimsical creativity.

Children will create kinetic mobiles inspired by Calder’s mastery of balance and movement, paired with colorful, dreamlike shapes drawn from Miró’s surreal world. This programme invites kids to discover how these two artistic giants inspire imagination and self-expression, bringing movement and color to life in exciting new ways.

With a small class size of 8-10 children, every young artist will receive personalized attention in a relaxed and supportive environment.

What to Bring:

  • Packed morning tea and lunch

  • Comfortable outdoor clothing, sunscreen, and a hat

  • Clothes that can get messy
