Bouncing Light Workshop and Tours

When children take part in Bouncing Light Workshop and Tours, they will enter a wonderland filled with glow, shadows and ripples of light.

With curriculum links to the Early Years Framework, and to science and art up to Year 3, this workshop will allow children to expand their “light vocabulary”, share their discoveries and express their creativity. Using everyday, familiar materials, children can experiment with a different way of making art using an element that Brisbane is bathed in: light!

Inclusions

Workshop (45 minutes)
Kinly Grey’s intriguing artwork echoes 2021, featured in Museum of Brisbane’s 2021 exhibition City in the Sun, is the inspiration for this illuminating learning experience. Equipped with a personal torch, children can explore light, shadow and reflection for themselves using a variety of familiar materials.

Exhibition Tour (45 minutes)
Complete a guided tour of our current exhibitions. Students will have opportunities to engage in tactile learning during the tour with our educational touch trolleys.

City Hall Tour (45 minutes)
Discover the history and significance of the heritage-listed City Hall on a tour of the ‘People’s Place’. Students will have the opportunity to discover the stories and artistry of the building.
