Art School

This autumn, our education team are taking creative learning sessions out of the museum and into primary schools in the greater Belfast area, to celebrate the life and work of Colin Middleton - a Belfast-born artist whose work shows astonishing imagination and variety. An exploration and discussion of his work will be followed by an art activity where the class will join together to make an exciting ‘patchwork’ landscape.
