Animal Magic

The Ark, A Cultural Centre for Children presents

Animal Magic

Spring Visual Arts Workshop Programme 2010

Due to the great success of recent pop-up workshops, The Ark has programmed three brand new pop-up workshops, with artist Liz Smith, for the spring season. Why not participate in all three? You’ll explore the art of pop-up and discover how to construct impressive 3D pop-ups with impact and movement by using a variety of papers, cards and creative techniques.

Animal Magic - with artist Liz Smith

Construct a moving pop-up illustration of your favourite wild animal or even create a brand new species of your own. Think about where your animal might live, what it might eat and what it is called – then use your pop-up skills to bring your new animal to life.
