***Exploring Central Library with Children's Art Club***
This month our group of young artists and their families set out on a tour of discovery around all of Central Library with the help of an "I Spy" architectural and design-spotting activity.
Then, back in our usual room, they made badges and collaged and drew pictures of the favourite spaces in and impressions of Central Library. Their pictures include the dome of the Reference Library, pop-out books and features from the Children's Library and colourful shapes and textures from around the building.
Look out for details of June's Children's Art Club here and on Ticket Source very soon. The session on Saturday 13th June will be the last Children's Art Club meeting until the new school year but do keep an eye out for summer-holiday artist-led workshops at Central Library.
