You'll be buzzing with excitement with our bug-themed activities in our Learning Space this Easter holiday! From dragonflies to beetles, take inspiration from the creepy crawlies in Tate’s collection to construct multi-coloured neon replicas of your favourite bugs. Use the materials from our pick 'n' mix recycled craft box to make a 3D model of your bug.
On Saturday 5 April 13.00-15.00 there will be a free facilitated workshop with artist Colette Whittington. Make a zingy patterned 3D paper bug and learn how to print bug patterns and textures before building your own model of your favourite bug. Personalise them however you like!
Check out John Hoskin's Black Beetle, Louise Bourgeois' Spider, Mark Wallinger's King Edward and the Colorado Beetle, Yinka Shonibare's Grain Weevil and Andy Warhol's Happy Butterfly Day for inspiration!
Our Learning Space is open every day for visiting families- a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!
Share your experience with us on social media using @tateliverpool and #TLfamilies.
