School Holiday Programs

On offer before Christmas:   Art Safari - a one day drawing program at Auckland Zoo;  "Get Hippie" - a one day jewellery making workshop in Mt Eden.  Enrolments are essential for school holiday programs.  See below for individual program details.

 Art Safari

When:  December - Tues 20 or Thurs 22  Time:  9.30am – 4pm    Where: Auckland Zoo, Motions Road, Western Springs.    Cost: $95 including gst, materials and Zoo entry  Bring:  Food and drink for the day.  Wear:  Suitable footwear for walking! Our programme will go ahead rain or shine – so please also bring a waterproof jacket in the event of rain.   SUNSCREEN in summer please!!!!  Meet:  Our tutors will be outside the main Zoo entrance building, on the lefthand side, from 9.15am onwards.  Ideal: for children aged 7 and over.

Sketching giraffes, characterising the monkeys or over-emphasising Burma’s wrinkles – it’s all part of the fun on “Art Safari”.  We will spend the day exploring Auckland Zoo learning many different drawing techniques and skills on our explorations.  Our focus will be on drawing the animals as much as their Zoo habitat.  We will use numerous drawing mediums and each child will get their own sketching pad to record their studies and drawings – creating their own ‘explorer in the wilderness’ journal to take home with them.
