Our @LeedsCityMuseum campus students have been working on sensory tools to help visitors visually engage with their collections. This week they went into the @HMILeeds Henry Moore Institute to investigate their explorer bags. The students relished the opportunity to navigate the art works in the gallery using the tools in the bags. @LeedsCC_News @leedsautismAIM @UALawardingbody @UAL @LeedsPCF @CarersLeeds #Post16 #Creative #Pathway #CulturalConnection #PINCCollege #sensoryart #texture #ArtAndDesignSpecialistCollege #SpecialistartCollege #CreativeEducation #StartWithArt #artforall #artformentalhealth
