Participatory art with children at Heritage Hill

Here are some more pics relating to some participatory art programs I did at Heritage Hill Museum and Heritage Garden, during my residency in late 2013, and as a flow on after the residency in early 2014.

 
A group of little girls helped put up the last of the paper Little Ones paste ups, an installation of late nineteenth century photographs of local children scattered throughout the historic gardens (see posts below for more images of the artwork). This installation was very popular with kids and I did several walks around the gardens with groups of kids during an event at the museum. 
 
 
 
Sunlight on the Hill was a kids program exploring the gardens at Heritage Hill looking at how ideas about sunlight had influenced the design of the gardens and buildings on site, and we also made some cyanotypes using flowers from the garden.
