Location: The Cardboard Castle, 15 Chaffinch Road, Hobsonville Point

Programme Overview:

Welcome to Faces in Focus – Painting Emotions! Today, children will explore portrait painting by capturing emotions and personality with bold colors and expressive techniques. Drawing inspiration from famous portrait artists, kids will create vibrant self-portraits, using acrylic paints and various tools to bring their unique faces and feelings to life on canvas. After a creative morning in the studio, we’ll take a break for a picnic lunch at Hobsonville Point Waterpark, just steps away from the studio. In the afternoon, we’ll resume art making with either a collaborative project where everyone contributes to a large artwork or allow for free-choice time, encouraging individual exploration. With a small class size of 8-10 children, each young artist will receive personalized attention to fully express their creativity.

What to Bring:

  • Packed morning tea and lunch

  • Appropriate outdoor clothing

  • Water bottle

  • Clothes that can get messy

Pricing:

$85 for the full day, including all materials.
