This family guide has been designed to help you
to work together to explore the exhibition. Please
ask the Exhibition Assistants in the galleries if you
would like to borrow a pencil and clipboard, or if
you would like to find out more about Josephine
Pryde’s artwork.
A lot of Josephine’s photos feature hands. How many can you count?
Josephine Pryde has made close
up photos of cornflour and water
mixed together. This mixture
feels funny and does some very
strange things!
Experiment by making your
own mixture of cornflour
and water at home. Try
pouring it, pressing it,
picking it up or letting
it pool on your hand.
Josephine asked a local graffiti artist to
create the artwork for the train. There
is lots of graffiti art in Bristol. Graffiti is
seen by lots of people as it’s out on the
streets where people pass it everyday.
Decorate this train inspired by graffiti
art that you have spotted in Bristol.
Photography helps you to see things that you can’t
see with just the naked eye. Choose something to
look at really closely and draw what you see in the
box to the right. Ask an Exhibition Assistant if you
need a magnifying glass.
Take a ride with your family on
Josephine Pryde’s train, what is
special about this train? Imagine
you could drive this train out of
the gallery and go wherever you
wanted to. Where would you like
to travel to?

dream destination.
