Making Shapes & Flying Colours
Can colours and shapes communicate with each other to create unique artworks? Explore this at our exciting Colour Trail and visual arts workshop for ages 5 to 12 this Culture Night.
Make your way through The Ark on an exciting colour trail that will lead you to our beautiful gallery area where you will be introduced to a Philip Flanagan painting, which has recently become part of The Ark’s permanent collection.
Artist Asha Joanna O’Neill will then lead a 20 minute taster, visual arts workshop responding to this painting. This lively, hands-on workshop will explore the visual magic that happens when you combine strong colours with bold shapes – straight, ragged, wavy and curved! Get stuck in and build your own bold and colourful artworks which you can take home with pride!
Wires, Strings & Other Things Available FOR FREE On-demand
Meet Ed, Andreea and James, three totally different people with one thing in common – they are crazy about music and sound.
Ed can usually be found in a corner, building unusual electronic instruments, tinkering with his own world of sound. Andreea plays the viola beautifully and reads complicated sheets of music as if they were fairy tales. And James? Well, James wanders a labyrinth of sound like an explorer, connecting and disrupting with his bass clarinet as he goes.
Anything can happen as they find each other and start to invent music together. What stories will they share when, with your help, they explore the magic and mystery of how to compose, perform and improvise?
Wires, Strings & Other Things, conceived and created by Brian Irvine and Wouter Van Looy, is a music performance that encourages you to always be curious. To listen, respond to, and communicate through the sounds, music and stories that are all around you – wherever you are and whoever you are with.
We are also delighted to be offering you the opportunity to stream our music show, Wires, Strings & Other Things on-demand FOR FREE in the comfort of your own home or classroom this Culture Night!
