Art Explorers is the Art Gallery of Ballarat's school holiday program, inviting children into the studio to survey artworks, discover the ideas and techniques used to create them, and chart a new course by pushing creative boundaries

This season they're inspired by the incredible tresses, curls, beards and hairdos in the Gallery's art collection. Using their online exhibition Bockas, Locks and Whiskers, this school holiday program explores how we use hair to express ourselves. Participants will use drawing, painting, printmaking and collage to create unique portraits full of movement, emotion and story.

Each 90 minute session is designed for specific age groups and will help curious children explore elements and principles of artmaking including line, rhythm, shape, colour, pattern and texture.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
