KIDS’ APT

 

CONTEMPORARY ART FOR CONTEMPORARY KIDS!

Scoots

For APT5 a number of artists have created interactive and engaging art works and activities for children, which are displayed in the original Gallery building as well as in the major galleries and dedicated Children’s Art Centre spaces at GoMA. There are also special art work labels, a free full-colour activity book and tours for kids — all helping young visitors to engage with the art works on display.

Let Scoots the green turtle be your guide around the exhibition. Sharing the same waters as the APT5 artists, Scoots’s migratory pattern brings him to Queensland at just the right time for APT5. The green turtle and its ancestors have lived in the Asia–Pacific region for just about forever (around 100 million years!) and feature in many myths and legends from different cultures in the region.

Tours for Kids

11.30am (GoMA) & 1.00pm (QAG) every Sunday in February

Kids’ tours of APT5 will be offered for children aged four to ten and their family members or carers. The 30-minute tours, which will be interactive and inquiry-based, will explore a small number of works linking to a central theme or idea. Props and storytelling elements will be incorporated, helping children make links between art works and their own knowledge and experience. Meet at the Information Desk.

Kids’ APT5 will be the first major project of the Gallery’s Children’s Art Centre in the Gallery of Modern Art.
