This month our workshop is titled Water. We will discuss 3 works of art from the collection before drawing the flow of water and transforming our drawing into a bowl. We invite you to make a cup of tea and connect with us online. You will need a flat surface to work on and a computer, tablet or other device with a working camera and microphone.

Materials:

  • A4 or A3 paper suitable for drawing
  • a few pebbles and/or dried leaves
  • pencils (water colour if available, a jar of water and a brush)
  • markers or pen
  • tape

This is a social and creative program for people living with dementia and their care partners. Art and Dementia Online engages with the National Gallery's collection through discussion and artmaking. 

This program is designed for people living with dementia along with their care partners. If you wish to attend this program for research or professional development reasons, please contact: access@nga.gov.au or 02 6240 6605
