By Paula Briggs

Over the past few weeks the after school art club for ages 8,9 and 10 has been exploring making autobiographical work in a variety of media. This resource shares how we created a home for all the sculptures and paintings in the form of a cardboard suitcase which doubled up as a pop-up gallery. This activity was spread over two, hour long sessions – though longer would have been useful.
