Bloemfontein: <\/strong>The Oliewenhuis Art Museum’s Kiddies Holiday Workshops this year culminated in impressive creative works. Presented from 8 to 11 July, the event was held under the theme “Earth”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made provision for 80 children from the ages of 5 to 12 years, allowing aspiring artists to fully showcase their talent and creativity. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants were encouraged to create and explore texture through sand and mud art. They could get in touch with the earth by drawing inspiration from and creating art made from stone, sand, soil, rocks and mud.Museum sparks holiday crafts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experienced visual artist Sonya Rademeyer taught these young artists how to create unusual snail art, using interesting prints made from paper “prepared” by live snails and creative recycling ideas. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants were taught to make an insect using recycled materials; decorating and then shaping recycled materials into their favourite or fantasy insect.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art workshop also afforded them a chance to experience the creativity of ceramicists. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We took inspiration from the world around us to create our own unique clay artworks,” said Karen Marais, senior exhibition officer at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
