Hundertwasser talked about his philosophy of the Five Skins. The third skin is about where we live: our homes, flats and houses.
Inspired by the dynamic Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery, children will explore around the building with our art facilitators.
They will engage in quick-session-sketching in response to what they notice.
On returning to the Activity Centre, children will create mixed media pictures of their Magic Homes inspired by Hundertwasser’s architecture.
Children will create their Magic Homes experimenting with coloured pencils, pens, wrap-ping paper, coloured card, glue sticks and pastels.
An unusual house
that does not correspond to
the usual cliches and norms of academic architecture
a house conceived and designed by a painter
an adventure in modern times
a journey to an unknown land
a journey into the land of creative architecture
where there are window rights and tree tenants
and uncontrolled irregularities
uneven floors, woodlands on the roof
spontaneous vegetation
and barriers of beauty
- Hundertwasser, 1985
7 to 12 yr. olds
