Art Together - Drawing & Mark Making

Join our creative Drawing & Mark Making workshop with local artist Thao La, inviting toddlers and their carers to explore movement, gesture, and self-expression through creative mark-making activities. Children are encouraged to experiment freely, building confidence as they discover how their bodies can create marks, lines, and shapes.

Workshop Activities

1. Mark Making Exploration Children explore a variety of tools and techniques on individual paper:

Crayons, bundled pencils, and chalk for sensory drawing Scribbling and free-form line making Drawing using a pebble dipped in paint to create movement-based marks Focus on experimentation, gesture, and cause-and-effect 2. Big Drawing Together A collaborative drawing experience on a large shared surface:

Who it’s for Suitable for children aged 1–4 years, this workshop is designed for active participation between child and parent/carer, fostering connection and shared creative experiences.
