A Summer of Colour
Embrace the colours and textures of Mexico in this summer school holiday programme inspired by Auckland Art Gallery's blockbuster exhibition Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Art and Life in Modern Mexico. Create ceramics, textiles and portraits bursting with colour and fun in this series of workshops delivered by a team of in-house artists.
- Self-portraits: Create a mixed-media self-portrait inspired by the artworks in Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Art and Life in Modern Mexico. Express yourself through colour, collage and photography.
- Screen printing: Learn techniques such as image transfer and textile printing to create an embellished cushion cover inspired by the colours and textures of Mexico.
- Ceramic painting: Decorate your own ceramic inspired by Mexican talavera designs. Use ceramic pens to create a colourful piece of usable art.
- Shoe decoration: Be inspired by the colours and textures of Mexican Otomí textiles to create a pair of patterned sneakers that put a spring in your step.
- Animals and vessels: Create fantastical and colourful 3D animals and vases inspired by Mexican alebrijes (sculptures of imaginary creatures).
