Magic Homes

To book: email geva.downey@hundertwasserartcentre.co.nz

Hundertwasser talked about his philosophy of the Five Skins. The third skin is about where we live: our homes, flats and houses.

 "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

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.

Our facilitator's will take care of your children so parents are free to leave and have some free time or visit the Hundertwasser in New Zealand 1973-2000 exhibition.
