Builds creative problem-solving
Gives children opportunities to test different approaches and make their own choices when responding to an artistic challenge.
Description
The New Zealand Art Activity Book gives young artists plenty of inspiration to get creative, with more than 100 activities drawn from the world of New Zealand art. Children can explore works from Te Papa’s collection, discover art by contemporary New Zealand artists and try out ideas and techniques of their own.
The activities go beyond simply copying a picture, inviting children to look closely, experiment with different ways of making art and put their own spin on what they see. With a mix of historical and contemporary artworks, it’s a lovely way to introduce children to Aotearoa’s art and encourage them to think like artists themselves.
