Walking The Line is a great way for families and friends to spend time together in the open air and experience culture and local heritage for free.
The artworks act as an impetus to get people visiting this under-utilised stretch of East London’s waterways and in doing so enable them to (re)discover the fascinating stories and wildlife on their doorsteps, as well as being inspired by the art. Viewing artworks together is a great way to open up conversations across the generations; from pre-schoolers to grandparents, everyone will have an opinion on what they see and what it means to them. For those wishing to delve deeper, the works on The Line raise fascinating questions about time, the human body and place and provoke debate about the environment, our society and identity.
The chance to view works outside of a gallery brings art within reach of all and helps challenge perceptions of who art is for.
This resource includes activities focusing on and inspired by the artworks located at the Royal Docks and Greenwich Peninsula. They are designed to be done at home or school, and the discussion questions provide conversation prompts while out on the route of The Line. This resource is for all ages and all the materials and equipment you need should be easily found at home or at school.
Take further inspiration from the short films of Antony Gormley and Abigail Fallis, showcasing their activities below.
