Children across the Macedon Ranges had a visit from the Fungi Town Caravan this school holiday as part of the creative kids program.
Artist Kathy Holowko and her art installation on wheels held workshops on April 12 and April 13 at the Kyneton Town Hall and Romsey Community Hub.
Ms Holowko said she is interested in the power of art and the effects of urban life.
“I believe in the power of art to help learn, to think, to meditate,” she said.
“It is my way to mirror cultural environmental ideologies in the hope of building positive future visions.”
“I am interested in the effects that urban life has upon our understanding of ecology.”
During the workshops, the children were introduced to environmental education and learnt about the fascinating life of fungi by creating sculptures out of paper, tape and oil pastel.
The fungi town workshops are part of the caravan’s events for 2023, following its construction after the June 2021 storms.
