The Ark, A Cultural Centre for Children presents

Pop-up Travels

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.

Pop-up Travels - with artist Liz Smith

As summer approaches, it is the perfect time to think about travelling, holidays or discovering a new land. Mountains, boats, trains, planes and surprise characters can all be inspiration for your pop up illustration. You can pop up anywhere in the world, the universe or any place you can possibly imagine.
