Lynley Dodd
Lynley Dodd: A Retrospective
10 March - 6 May
A celebration of work by one of New Zealand's most noted children's authors, Lynley Dodd. Hairy Maclary, the mischievous and devious but lovable dog from Donaldson's dairy has been a household name in New Zealand since 1983. The exhibition features original drawings by Dodd from her prolific career including all of Hairy Maclary's friends. Organised by the Tauranga Art Gallery and toured by Exhibition Services Ltd, this exhibition lends itself to a huge range of hands-on art sessions.
Please ask us to email you a complete list of our session ideas!
Hands-on practical sessions:
-Be a writer and illustrator! Using ink, collage and oil pastel create your own “hairy” animal and then add your own storyline to go with it.
-After reading “Showbusiness” by Lynley Dodd create your own first place champion dog or cat as a 3D sculpture, using card, pastels, fabric and pipe cleaners.
- Juniors: Take Hairy Maclary for a walk! Create your own Hairy Maclary cut-out with springy legs or an animal of your choice. This activity focuses on the action words found in the story that we will read.
