Landscapes and Cityscapes

Many famous artists have found their surroundings a great source of inspiration.


Join us for a week of workshops that explore our landscapes and cities and challenge you to look at your environment with a fresh perspective.

 


Monday 13 February
Cylinder City

Bring the family along to help us create a fantastical new Coventry cityscape with artist Jim Morris! Be it a house, a skyscraper or our famous cathedral…what will you add to our giant city? The choice is yours, as long as it's made of cylinders!

Tuesday 14 February
A Dusk Landscape

Get creative using pastel techniques and stencilling to form a unique landscape scene. We will take inspiration from a painting in our art since 1900 gallery to create a landscape full of colour and shadow.

Also taking place...
Wildlife in the City, 11.00am - 12.00pm


Wednesday 15 February
Lowry Figures

Celebrate our huge Lowry landscape painting! Join us to create your very own "matchstick" man or woman character, inspired by uniquely shaped figures that Lowry painted in his landscapes.

Also taking place...
Wildlife in the City, 11.00am - 12.00pm


Thursday 16 February
Coventry in Perspective

Using images of Coventry's buildings, oil pastels and plenty of creativity, make a 2D collage of Coventry's skyline!

Also taking place...
Wildlife in the City, 11.00am - 12.00pm


Friday 17 February
Inspired!

Coventry's spires are a dominant part of the city skyline. Design and build your very own spire complete with windows, embellishments and ornate decorations! Then take your glorious creation home with you to stand tall.

Suitable for 4+ but all are welcome. At busy times you may be asked to wait.
