Engaging Young People with Artworks
Tate Visual Dialogues Project
This project brought exciting loans from the Tate's national collection to Graves Gallery in Sheffield. Each work was placed alongside Sheffield’s permanent collection, in dialogue with some of its best loved paintings. Using these artworks as inspiration, Youth Forum worked with Leeds based artist, Louise Atkinson, to examine ideas of identity and Britishness. This worksheet outlines Louise's work, and can be used for inspiration for engaging young people with artworks.
As part of this project, Youth Forum went on an overnight trip to London to visit the Tate Modern and Tate Britain and to meet with other project participants. Their project blog Visual Dialogues can be viewed from the link below. Please feel free to comment!
While at Tate Britain, Youth Forum members heard Hannah Starkey talk about her photograph,
Butterfly Catchers
