Talking Heads at Bristol Museum Art Gallery.

Added 30th July 2016

Talking Heads - An Exciting Bristol Museum Arts and Literacy Programme for KS2

 

Six schools researched the stories behind people in portraits hanging in the Bristol Museum Art Gallery. Small teams of four children mentored by a volunteer scrutinised the portraits in order to build a life-size puppet. Using their imagination and historical research each team created a script and a performance. Performances were held in front of the painting in the Art Gallery.

Return to the galleries and the portraits to tell a key moment in the story of their character
