Fun Day Out Activities

Art Lab

Sydney & Surrounds

What happens when science meets art? Create beautiful artworks, whilst investigating scientific principles!

Children discover how chemistry and physics can create surprising and beautiful works of art. Through hands-on experiments such as Water Marbling, Pendulum Art and Salt + Water colour, kids will explore how water, colour, gravity and different materials interact.

In this Fun Day Out workshop every experience encourages children to question, predict, test and create. This is a dynamic collaboration between art and science — where the process matters just as much as the finished creation, and every experiment will lead to a unique work of art.

Highlights

  • Explore scientific concepts and transform discoveries into creative, visual creations.
  • Discover how science can influence artistic techniques and create surprising visual effects.
  • Experiment, problem-solve and adapt as every scientific investigation becomes an opportunity to create a work of art!
