Atrs Award at the Herschel Museum

Creative course for home educated young people aged 7+ years that will introduce different ways to make art. Try out art techniques inspired by the current exhibition on early photography, as well as creating some space-themed art related to the Herschels’ astronomical discoveries. You will also have the the opportunity to talk to staff and find out all about working in a museum and gallery and create your own final artwork inspired by everything you have discovered.

In addition to the weekly sessions, you will be expected to do some work and research at home (approximately 12hrs), create a final artwork inspired by your Explore journey, share your findings and creations on the exhibition day, and record it all in a logbook. Participants under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult. The course will take place at the Herschel Museum and No1 Royal Cresent (first session will be at No1).
