Furry Friend Headband & Lots of Dots

with Yayoi Kusama

Twilight Activity
Dalmatians, tabby cats and labradoodles! Cats and dogs come in many different colours, patterns, shapes and sizes.

Celebrating the NGV exhibition Cats & Dogs, children can draw fur and other details inspired by their favourite pets on a set of cat or dog ears and wear them for the day – or even to bed!

Creating these furry headbands will stimulate young minds, encouraging play, imagination and creativity.

Pumpkins often appear in Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s artworks. Taking the spirit of the summer NGV exhibition Yayoi Kusama direct to community venues, this activity introduces children and families to one of the world’s leading contemporary artists.

In this activity, Yayoi Kusama invites children to add their favourite colourful dots and write a short poem or message about pumpkins.

This activity will be facilitated by a Mildura Arts Centre staff member at Twilight.
