Ready to change things up for your kids with something artsy these summer holidays? Book your 7-12-year-old in for the Silly Picasso Portrait Workshop to learn the basics of portraiture, inspired by master artist Picasso and expertly led by present-day artist Sossy. In this workshop, your child will create their very own pop artwork for their bedroom - with the faces of their family members as the artwork subject.
The workshop is a series of 2 sessions, and each session is 1.5 hours in duration.
WHAT WILL WE BE CRAFTING:
We are going to create a Picasso-style family portrait - using nonsensical shape cutouts, paints, and glue!
Sossy will deliver a short demonstration on Picasso's funny and colourful faces that are represented in his artworks.
Each child will then choose which three family members (including the option for pets) they would like to use for the artwork.
There will be a choice of shape stencils for the kids to use to cut out funny shapes.
We will be using kid-friendly glues and crafting tools to stick down the base layer.
Colouring the artwork in with acrylic paints and pencils will be the last stage of creating the special artwork.
The sessions will run on:
  • Tue 19th + Wed 20th December at 9:45am
  • Tue 16th + Wed 17th January at 9:45am
  • Tue 23rd + Wed 24th January at 9:45am

Sossy + Canvas is an art studio and events gallery based in Melbourne, Australia. Featuring the work of abstract artist, Sossy Kinderman, the studio is home to a collection of impressive oil paintings and in person art workshops. Art lovers, students and collectors are invited to indulge their creative side through a fully immersive art experience at Sossy + Canvas.
Resident artist Sossy is an experienced painter with a bold and striking style developed after years of painting. Creating beautiful and deeply moving pieces that speak to her history and place in the world, Sossy’s work aims to connect with the viewer through their own lived experience and interpretation of her work. While heavily influenced by abstract art and its ability to inspire curiosity and emotion through colour, form, texture and scale, Sossy still regularly applies representational reference points when painting her widely-loved Judaica art. Having picked up her first paintbrush at the age of four, Sossy has always understood the importance of art as a means of self expression both for the artist and those who enjoy it.
Sossy’s Judaica themed work began as realism and portraiture while living in Melbourne as she explored the city’s rich art culture. After moving to Israel to live for four years, Sossy regularly visited the Old City of Jerusalem where she mingled with Israeli artists who inspired and influenced her work as a Judaica artist. Weaving her way through European art galleries, Sossy had a deeply transformative experience while viewing Gustav Klimt’s work in Vienna. Having spent years perfecting a classical style that was underpinned with technical skill, Sossy was moved to transition her style to abstract work with symbolist and impressionist influences, paving the way for her distinctive abstract Judaic style she maintains today.
As an art teacher and creative, Sossy splits her time designing novel artworks and custom commissioned art, while hosting oil painting workshops to help others develop their artistic skills. Sossy finds great meaning in her creative work, particularly through custom commissioned artwork, as she captures and expresses the story, memories, and symbols of her clients’ lives.
