“It has been a heartwarming and interesting experience. I feel better about doing art workshop in small groups because it fosters closer connections. I also feel a sense of purpose and meaning expressing art in groups rather than make art on my own” – Workshop participant, 2020

Accessibility:

The Dax Centre is committed to making these online workshops accessible to individuals with all abilities. Our artist facilitators are very experienced at creating a supportive, calming and welcoming online art making space. Before the workshop, we will provide a guide to using Zoom, including support to use the accessibility features. If you require any further assistance or have suggestions for how to improve the experience of online art making, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at info@daxcentre.org.

This project is supported by

Child and Mother school holiday program

Drawing for Mindfulness

Zoom online holiday classes for children and teens – join us from anywhere across Australia!

Spend an afternoon or two with artist and educator Jane Karnowski exploring drawing as an intuitive and playful expression of creativity.

Carefully selected artworks from the current exhibition at Child and Mother, will act as drawing prompts for students to examine the power of imagination and the generative force of drawing for wellbeing.

We will work creatively, share and talk together online followed by offline time for independent making. It’s ‘social’ at a distance among like-minded students.

Suitable for children aged 7 years and over.

Primary students: Monday 28/9 and Friday 2/10

Secondary students: Tuesday 29/9 and Thursday 1/10

Time: 3:00 pm – 4.15 pm, via Zoom from the comfort of your home
