ACTIVITY PACK: IDEAS FOR YOUNG ARTISTS

We’ve been missing the regular Dream and Make workshops that artist and educator Laura Phillimore leads at Spike Island – and we think that it’s now more important than ever to Dream and Make.

So, we’ve invited Laura to create activity packs that you can download for free. Laura has filled the packs to the brim with ideas and inspiration for making artwork at home using very simple materials.  The activity packs are suitable for all ages, but especially well suited to 5–11 year olds

Dream & Make Activity Pack (October 2020)

In this pack we are getting outdoors and taking inspiration from nature. Collect, construct and create your own printmaking tools and brushes using natural and everyday materials and explore ways to make your own amazing artwork.

Dream and Make Activity Pack (August 2020)

In this pack you will explore ways to create and design your own amazing spaces. Along with ways to create structures using simple materials, you will explore and play with light as a tool for design.
