Take a moment to appreciate the amazing things about yourself! In this activity, you’ll draw a picture on bunting representing what you’re thankful for, maybe something physical like your legs for running fast, or something inside, like your imagination for making ideas interesting. It could even be a character strength, like bravery for showing up when things feel scary.

Your picture will be drawn on a pastel-coloured bunting flag, inspired by the colours in Kate Mitchell’s work It’s a Sign. When all the flags are complete, they’ll be strung together and suspended in the gallery’s atrium. This activity is all about noticing your strengths, feeling thankful, and celebrating what makes you, you!

Drop in to the workshop any time during the listed hours. Materials and instructions are provided. Suitable for all ages and abilities. Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times.
