Take One Picture by LS Lowry
Whilst York Art Gallery was closed local teachers were challenged to run art projects in their classrooms, inspired by Lowry’s painting of Clifford’s Tower. Nearly one and a half thousand children took part. Five class projects were selected, each winning two days working with a local artist in their school. This exhibition features the winning projects and the outcomes of the artists’ sessions as well as examples of work from each of the 12 schools which took part in the initial challenge. The gallery continues to work with local teachers and schools to encourage and support art teaching. We offer a range of practical workshops and tours for visiting schools and regular training sessions for teachers.
This exhibition is in the Project Gallery. This gallery showcases work with local communities and contemporary artists responding to York Museums Trust collections.
