Family Learning | Shadow Painting Flowers and Grasses

Delve into the world of our our summer family exhibition, Growing Curiosities. Create beautiful, delicate prints using just the mushrooms themselves.

Inspired by Nicola Davies Poems Flowers and Honey we’ll be using light, flowers and grasses found around the museum site to create beautiful watercolour artworks.

During this relaxing and calm activity, we will firstly trace around the shadows made by the flowers on to our paper, moving the paper to curate a meadow of beautiful blooms.  We will then use watercolour to fill in the spaces with a diverse range of colour, adding drawings of bees and butterflies on top.
