Children’s Workshop | Paintbrush Portrait Painting

Well-known local artist and art educator, Alison Dowell, offers these special workshops at MAGNT inspired by the touring exhibition Archie 100: A Century of the Archibald Prize. Starting in the MAGNT Discovery Centre to look at examples and materials, the workshop goes on a short gallery tour of the Archie 100 exhibition before the creative process begins. Using repurposed paint brushes which are caked with dry paint, children can transform them into beautiful works of art.
