Debra, a stay-at-home mum of three, has just recently moved to Brisbane with her family. She is looking forward to experiencing and sharing all that the city has to offer.
The Drawing Room, situated in GoMA's Long Gallery, has been designed to complement the Matisse exhibit. Visitors to The Drawing Room can create their own sketches, drawing inspiration from the beautiful light-filled room, which features still-life scenes, sculptures, models and music.
Music In The Studio allows budding artists to create while being serenaded by a solo violinist; from 12:30 until 2:30pm daily.
Line From Life, from 11:30am until 1:30pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, features costumed models posing in The Drawing Room.
Artists can draw the traditional way or sketch with a touchscreen tablet. They can then enter their artwork into a competition to win a trip to Paris, France.
Take a break and enjoy a coffee at The Matisse Cafe, located in The Drawing Room. It is open daily until 4:45pm.
Exhibition tickets cost $20 for an adult or $15 for a Member. Children (12 and under) are free. Season ticket holders may return as often as they like.
The Matisse exhibition is at the GoMA until March 4, 2012.
