Colouring in: A Garden Enclosed

Collection

This screenprint by Eileen Mayo is of Cuningham House, the big glass house in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. The building is kept warm all year so that the plants inside stay healthy and grow well. Have you been there? What sort of plants did you see?

Do you notice the plants inside the building and the trees outside it? What are the differences between them? Do they give you a clue as to what time of year it is?

The artist used red for the sun in the sky. What other colours could she have used? Download the colouring sheet here and colour your own version of Eileen Mayo’s picture. When you're finished, you could take a photo of your work and ask an adult to tag us on social media (#chchartgallery).
