Make a Layered Lyrebird Drawing with us at CMAG this school holidays by trying different drawing strategies in response to Sidney Nolan's Lyrebird costume. Activities will include blind drawing, creating texture and line, cropping and making impressions from shadows and shapes. We will then pull our ideas together to layer our own creative Lyrebird picture.
Parents and carers are required to accompany their children but do not need to purchase a ticket.
The Nolan Collection is an iconic group of paintings from 1945 to 1953 by Sidney Nolan that the artist gifted to the nation in 1974
Sidney Nolan always understood artmaking could transcend the boundaries of a picture frame. Throughout his life, he worked with a wide circle of creative collaborators to produce striking designs for opera, ballet, and theatre.
Celebrate 50 years of Nolan’s cultural legacy with our year-long program of exhibitions, concerts, talks, and a symposium.
