In this box we begin to dip our toes into the complex world of art and the emotions by first looking at Henri Matisse and how he used colour to create a great sense of joy! Then we turn to Edvard Munch, and at how portraits can help us to understand our inner world. Finally we look at Vincent van Gogh, at the techniques he used to evoke emotions in his paintings, and at how his own feelings are expressed in his work. 

£27

In this art box we explore different sculptural materials - from clay shapes inspired by Barbara Hepworth's natural abstract forms, to Calder's wire creations and fish floating in wire aquariums; from Godfrey DeWitt's packed and stacked conic and cylindrical steel circles, to clay hand bowls inspired by the master of form Rodin.

Most great artists use shape and pattern in their compositions. In this box, we look at three artists who have particularly enjoyed playing with the idea of repetition and pattern: M. C. Escher with his love of tessellations; Fahrelnissa Zeid and her large-scale abstract paintings; and Camille Walala with her huge bold street-art murals filled with bright colour!

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.

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.

In this box, first we look at the fascination many artists have had for the human face, for example Picasso and Kahlo. Secondly, at the ways in which artists are influenced by the people that they live with, by the cultures and the traditions that surround them, for example in ancient Egypt and Asia. Finally, at how artists have been influenced by their relationships with other artists, for example the friendships between Warhol and Basquiat, and Frankenthaler and Hartigan.
