¡A La Mesa! is a kids arts workshop run by artist and educator Natalie Estay Valenzuela.
¡A La Mesa!, a colloquial term in Spanish meaning 'To the Table', will explore the cultural connection between art and food.
Taking inspiration from her own artwork, Natalie will encourage children to discuss their favourite foods and how they may align to culture. Children will then start creating their own still life artwork with pencils, textas, pastels and collage. A real still life set up will also be supplied by the artist for inspiration.
All materials supplied.
WHEN: Saturday 12 November, 1pm - 2pm
WHERE: Blak Dot Gallery, 33 Saxon St, Brunswick
AGES: 4 - 10 years
