Why Lots of Lovely Art boxes?

Quality

We choose the very best art materials
and introduce new and
exciting art mediums for children
to experiment with.

Plentiful

There are more than enough materials in each box for
an artist! Some supplies may even
be used again and again, or shared – we want children
to have time to really learn how
to use new materials.

Convenient

Everything that the children need
(supplies, instructions) is delivered
to your home!
No need to waste time scouring
for that elusive water-based ink!

Art Boxes for Kids

Each box contains artist-inspired projects, process-art ideas and a selection of quality materials to enable children to be independently creative at home.

Beautiful Bugs

£29

Love them or hate them, creepy crawlies are everywhere! In these creative projects, inspired by artists old and new, we look at how to create a wall of recycled bugs with the artist Jennifer Angus, painted butterflies with Damien Hirst, snail drawings and shapes with Henri Matisse, spider collages with Louise Bourgeois, dragonfly bug jars with Maria Sibylla Merian, cricket patterns with Émile-Alain Séguy and finally moth wings you can wear with Sarah Gillespie!

What a Wonderful World

£29

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 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.

Playful Portraits

£29

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 like Sandra Silberzweig and Modigliani use its different mediums to capture the essence of their sitter; at sculpture and how artists such as Chris Ofili and Picasso create portraits in 3D; and at collage, and how artists like Hannah Hoch use this particular technique to depict people and their multi-faceted faces.

Lots of Love

£29

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 with Jim Dine; hugs, embraces and kisses with Brancusi; and dances inspired by Kerry James Marshall.

Awesome Animals

£29

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 and Salvador Dali, to farm animals with Picasso and Tracey English, and finally at bugs and butterflies with Louise Bourgeois.

Noble Nature

£29

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.

Street Art

£29

Inspired by artists such as Camille Walala, Antoni Gaudi, Ugo Rondinone and Banksy – this box looks 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 free-association graffiti!

Fabulous Fabric

£29

In this box, we look at how a number of very different artists such as Anni Albers, Sheila Hicks and William Morris, 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.

Delicious Delights

£29

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 inspired by artists such as Cezanne, Wayne Thiebaud and Arcimboldo, and 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.
