New children's gallery opens at the Walker Art Gallery
Loyd Grossman was at the Walker Art Gallery last Friday to welcome the first visitors into 'Big Art for Little Artists', our new children's gallery.
The gallery has been specifically designed for children up to the age of eight, introducing them to art and the Walker's collections through a series of fun informal learning activities and games.
We've created a series of online features to support these aims:
- A Parent's Guide answers Frequently Asked Questions
- a jigsaw interactive, introducing famous paintings from the collection
- a colouring in interactive, using the iconic Little Artist characters
- a virtual tour, follow the Little Artists on a trip around the Walker
- a fridge gallery, showing children's drawings
- a hide and seek game, in which the Little Artists are hiding in paintings from the collection
- desktop wallpapers
