Celebrate the Year of the Horse with artist Chun Zhu Wang, and a creative exploration of shape, movement, and imagination. Children will learn how the horse symbolises strength, energy, and good fortune in Chinese culture, and transform these ideas into playful handcrafted artworks — a gentle and inspiring way for families to welcome the new year together.

For the activity, children will use card to create abstract horse-themed artworks inspired by Picasso’s cubist shapes. The workshop will use simple materials including scissors, colourful card, yarn or string, and glue sticks.
