Painting & Drawing - Activity Day

Painting and Drawing

We’ll start the day with some fun drawing games to warm up our hands and spark our imaginations. Then, we’ll explore the work of artist Franz Marc, known for his vibrant and dream-like paintings of animals.

Each of us will choose an animal and imagine what it might be dreaming about. Using Franz Marc’s unique style as inspiration, we’ll create our own expressive artwork—and finish it off by designing a frame to showcase our masterpiece.

We’l also head out for a walk to sketch the surrounding landscapes and flowers, using nature as inspiration to bring even more creativity into our work, so please make sure to bring a coat and appropriate footwear.

Throughout the day, we’ll take regular breaks to visit our loose parts area, where we can burn off some energy while building ball runs, dens, and much more.  

We’ll also enjoy a few team games, tasty snacks, and a delicious lunch.
