Paint & Shake: Dotty Masterpieces

Fred Leis, Wind and Sun, 1936. Watercolour. Gift of Howard Hinton 1938. Sponsored by Stephen and Jane Gow in 2015 for the Adopt an Artwork Program.

Discover the magic of Pointillism these school holidays at NERAM!

Young artists will explore the world of Impressionism through selected works from the NERAM collection. From there, we’ll zoom in on the fascinating technique of Pointillism — where small dots of colour come together to create vibrant, glowing images.

After looking closely at how artists used colour and brushwork to bring their paintings to life, students will create their own pointillist masterpiece using mark-making, colour layering and creative composition.

A hands-on workshop that blends art history with playful experimentation — perfect for curious minds who love colour, creativity and discovering new ways to see the world!
