Whitworth Art Gallery - Through the Eyes of a Child
Whitworth Art Gallery worked in collaboration with Slade Lane Children's Centre on a 2- week project that involved 12 children aged 2-4 years and some parents. The children visited the gallery for two open-ended sessions, where they used torches, magnifying glasses and disposable cameras to explore the building and artworks. The staff used video cameras, digital cameras and post it observations to document the children's learning journeys. At the end of each session, the key themes of interest were identified, which informed the starting point for the next session. The main themes to emerge from our project were dragons and dens!
