To celebrate 20 years of the Spring Bulbs for Schools Project we hosted four virtual workshops that explored painting, climate change, the industrial revolution, and much more! Recordings of each session can be found below, along with any additional resources needed. 

Sessions are aimed at Progression Step 3 pupils (8-11). Details of each session can be found below.

These resources are available in Welsh.

Session 1 |Draw Like an Artist, Think Like a Scientist!

This session will explore botanical drawings, focusing on their scientific relevance and how at one time artists were scientists. The session will also explore the artwork and life of Cedric Morris, who created many plants and painted them in unique way.

Session 2 | Paint Together: Create a botanical masterpiece 

Join our resident artist to learn about the parts of a flower, how to mix colours and how to create a wonderful flower painting.
