THE STUDIO
Presented by the James and Diana Ramsay Foundation
The Studio is a new dedicated learning activity space for children, families and art lovers of all ages.
Responsive to the Gallery’s extensive collection and changing exhibition program, The Studio makes available ‘hands on’ activities daily, with a focus on school groups during the week.
WHAT'S ON IN THE STUDIO
Turner’s Studio
J.M.W. Turner is often described as the ‘painter of light’ and the activities in The Studio
encourage you to experiment with light and colour. Adelaide based artist Bridgette Minuzzo has
made a kaleidoscopic digital animation as a dynamic backdrop in the space. Come in and...
Make a hand held Kaleidoscope and change the way you see the world. Be inspired by
Turner’s unique view of light and colour and compare your Kaleidoscope to the projected moving
image Kaleidoscope by local artist Bridgette Minuzzo.
Make a Sun box with a miniature landscape inside. Hold it up in the the sun and
watch the way your landscape changes as the coloured windows light up your artwork.
