Paths to abstraction

Marvel at the masterpieces in the exhibition Paths to abstraction 1867-1917. Explore how artists changed our way of seeing the world through abstract colour, mood and shape.

Our children’s trails are designed to engage young children aged 6-12 with selected objects and images in the Gallery and our exhibitions. They combine looking and interpreting, drawing and writing activities to enable children to explore key themes and ideas while in front of the artworks. Extension ideas for activities at home and in the classroom are also included to extend children’s experience beyond the Gallery and to encourage and develop a love of art. Available online or as free printed booklets at the Gallery.
