In this box we are going to move away from looking at works of art in galleries to looking at works of art on the street. The fun, larger-than-life projects explore graffiti, public sculpture and mosaic murals - from turning your LoLA box into a wall and applying stencils, to going big and expressing yourself with a free-association graffiti portrait!

Create your very own tea party with colourful cardboard cakes, or deliver a fast-food take-away with a Plaster of Paris burger! This box is filled with creative ideas that will give you a taste of how food is used in art, from printing with apples to still life paintings and collaged fruit faces.

The arts of different continents, countries and regions can all teach us much about their particular people’s history, traditions and beliefs. In Africa we look at Ghana and at its long tradition of kente and adinkra cloths; and then to Morocco and its zellij tiles. In Asia we turn to Japan and specifically to the art of sumi-e; and to India with its world-famous Taj Mahal. Finally, to South America where we look at the traditional indigenous arts of Guatemala, and specifically at its 'worry dolls'; and to Panama with its brightly coloured textile art called molas.

Animals, both real and imagined, have long been a favourite subject in art. Part of their beauty lies in their versatility as subjects: they are often used as symbols, but they can also be majestic creative muses in their own right. We look at creatures big and small, from wild animals with Franz Marc, Salvador Dali and Durer, to farm animals with Picasso and Tracey English, and finally at bugs and butterflies with Louise Bourgeois and Lois Ehlert.

There are few things as fantastic as the human face! In this art box we will look at three different ways of creating portraits: at paint and how artists use its different mediums to capture the essence of their sitter; at sculpture and how we can create portraits in 3D; and at collage, and how this particular technique provides another way of depicting people and their multi-faceted faces.

In this box, we look at how a number of very different artists have worked with textiles, from printing and quilt-making, to batik and the making of textile sculptures. We also glance at different dyeing processes, from the use of natural botanical dyes to the Japanese technique of shibori.

Nature has been an inspiration for some of the greatest artists of all time. In this art box, we investigate flowers, especially looking at the art of Marimekkko and O'Keeffe; trees and forests through the work of Rousseau and Carr: and finally the power of water and the sea through inspiring artists like Turner and Hokusai.

The types of love that we feel are almost as varied as the people who experience it, as is the art that explores the subject. From Greek mythology to Hindu motifs, cultures around the world have used a range of symbols to represent love in art. We look at a few in these art projects, creating hearts, hugs, embraces, kisses and dances inspired by real artists past and present.
