“The 8 Colours of Fun”
is an advertising campaign promoting
Smarties chocolates.
Eight children, one for each Smarties colour,
are paired with eight adult artists, commissioned
by Nestle Astralia to create a work of art inspired by their designated colour.
The campaign is still online at Facebook and YouTube. Read on for Blue, Pink, Red, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Purple and Green.
The Smarties Facebook page includes a downloadable how-to guide with instructions for a colour-related DIY art project for children.
The campaign was launched with the colour blue, featuring an underwater adventure collaboration between moon-walking Jonathan and singer-songwriter Raymond Wassef. They come up with “Bluewalk”, performed by Raymond’s band, The Ray Man Three.
Ed collaborates with installation artist Mikala Dwyer to create a pink planet,
defying gender stereotypes associated with the colour.
Karina and pop artist Ebony Bizys work together to make
a collage pop up book featuring the world of red.
