Children's Art Party Format

• Filbert Splosh will arrive in costume as your chosen artist.
• He will re-enactment the artist's life with all youngsters having a part to play (approx: 25 minutes)
• Create a work of art in the style of the artist (approx: 90 minutes)
• Paintings are usually A3 or A2 in size depending on the age of the children

What you need to do

It normally takes around 20 minutes to set up. It is preferable if the youngsters are not around when this takes place.

Please make sure the room is prepared for painting, believe it or not water pots and paint sometimes find themselves falling over. Filbert Splosh can accept no responsibility for damaged carpets etc. Also, ensure every child is wearing old clothes or is wearing a painting overall.

Water will have to be provided either in buckets or we shall need access to a sink.

If the re-enactment takes place in the same room as the painting, space will be required for the youngsters to sit on the floor around the projection screen. Obviously, a power socket will need to be available.

Age groups

Children need to be at least 4 years old to appreciate these parties. Parties are designed for two age groups:

• 4 to 10 year olds

Please note:

The Dali: Wacky Illusions party is not suitable for the 4 to 10 year old age group.

Children under the age of 7 will probably need the help of an older sibling or adult with elements of the Warhol: Superstar Faces party
