Children’s Art Week 2020 – Garden Diorama with Sally Hackett, 3 of 3

This year, for Children’s Art week, join freelance artist and educator Sally Hackett in a series of three online tutorials offering a different perspective on the natural world. Using different materials and techniques, families will be guided, step by step, to create their own indoor garden diorama.
In this second tutorial, Sally will show you hot to make some miniature buildings for your diorama!
Children’s Art Week will see thousands of children, their teachers and their families taking part in fun, creative activities at home and in schools across three weeks in June and July. Venues of all types and sizes—from libraries to community halls, heritage venues and country parks, schools and of course museums and galleries across the UK—are hosting online and remote activities that will help children and young people to be inspired, engaged and entertained by art. Over the past months, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how essential creativity and the visual arts are for learning, connecting and wellbeing. While our venues, cultural organisations and some school buildings may be closed, engaging in the visual arts is more important than ever!
This activity has been supported by Engage Scotland.
