Transform used paper back into trees again! With Melbourne artist Tai Snaith, discover environmentally-conscious ways to create animal habitats using recycled materials, inspired by the NGV Triennial theme of Conservation. Tai will demonstrate collage techniques to create an artistic habitat of your choosing – perhaps a rainforest, an urban landscape or a patchwork of rolling hills.

Online Event Instructions
This program developed for primary school aged children will be delivered online. We look forward to hearing your questions or comments via the comments section.
Children may like to make along with Tai, we suggest having some collage materials ready such as paper, a collection of recyclable materials such as cardboard, kitchen rolls, string, bottle tops or egg cartons, plus art materials such as scissors, PVA glue and coloured pencils or markers. Alternatively you can watch, take inspiration and create later.
