KS2 pupils completing their Arts Award participated in an artist led workshop at Tate Britain. They recorded soundscapes inspired by paintings on display, disrupted the tempo and rituals (with permission!) of the gallery by dancing through the spaces and created large scale art works inspired by what they had seen and heard. Next the children will be creating their own art works before submitting their portfolios and receiving their Arts Award.
