Activity Sheets Inspired by Soft Impressions

Draw your own Dundee shapes and try weaving with paper

Have fun creating with our selection of activity sheets inspired by our exhibition Soft Impressions, which features the work of Helen Cammock, Ingrid Pollard and Camara Taylor. 

This major cross-generational exhibition focuses on the impact of printmaking and includes new and existing print work alongside installations, moving image, textiles and a painted mural. 

These activity sheets take inspiration from an artwork by Helen Cammock called Courage - take a look at this work below and then create your own Dundee shapes or have fun with weaving.

Find these activities in our Create Space while the exhibition is running or you can download them below to try at home.
