  MEET THE CHILDREN
On Monday, October 16th the children were introduced to the project. They told us something about themselves and their expectations. Here you will find a random selection of their responses. Later, this page will be expanded to include new material arising from the workshops.
 
 
The children were asked a range of questions about themselves and their background. We asked them about lots of different topics ranging from what they think of computers, through to places they have travelled to. Here you can see a constantly changing selection of some of their responses.

The children were asked lots of different questions about what they thought of art. We asked them about their idea of who artists are, and what they thought art could be. You will be able to see a selection of some of their responses after they visit Tate Modern soon.

Yes, some are living and some are dead. And some artists make art all their life and they make a use of it.

The children were asked about what they thought of Tate Modern. We asked them about their expectations of the museum itself, and about the kind of people they might find when they get here. Here you can see a constantly changing selection of some of their responses.
