Sessions run on Wednesdays and Fridays during term time.  All programmes are multi-level and align with the New Zealand curriculum. Education sessions run for 90 minutes, including a gallery tour and creative activity. Sessions are FREE of charge with all materials provided - Transportation is not included. Bookings must be submitted/approved at least two weeks before attending.

Term one- Interconnectivity

Term One explores the concept of  - interconnectivity - which underpins many of Aratoi's summer exhibits. 

Students engage with the bodily senses of touch, sight and sound as they tour the gallery, and embrace the unknown to create interconnected artworks. Creative activities focus on expanded drawing practices, featuring two-dimensional and three-dimensional mark-making skills. Sessions are designed to boost creative confidence, introduce contemporary art vocabulary, and relax preconceived ideas of art being "good/bad".  

TEACHERS - Don't miss out on this multi-sensory extravaganza!

Programme: 6 March- 12th of April.
