Let’s Meet … Rosalie & Ralph!: Online Children’s Workshop with Yaz Gaté
Have you ever wanted to find out more about the lives and artworks of artists in the Museum’s collection? While you can’t visit TarraWarra Museum of Art at the moment, we’re excited to bring a little bit of the Museum to you in our Let’s meet … online workshop series for children and families!
Join Melbourne-based artist and educator Yaz Gaté online this spring and delve into the lives and practices of two of Australia’s most avant-garde artists—Rosalie Gascoigne and Ralph Balson! Hear fascinating stories about the lives of these artists and learn about their individual pursuits for abstraction in assemblage and painting—respectively—before making your very own abstract artwork inspired by what you find in the world around you.
This interactive artist-led online workshop will be delivered via Zoom Meeting and will run for 60 minutes. Participants will need a computer or smartphone with an internet connection. Please contact our Education Coordinator Shannon Lyons shannon@twma.com.au if you have any queries about the Zoom platform.
