ART is being brought to life this summer with a 3D sculpting session for schoolchildren.
Pupils from York primary schools will be working with professional artists at the city's National Railway Museum to build a giant sculpture of the Japanese Bullet train, to mark National Children's Art Day, on Thursday, July 3.
The ten and 11-year-olds will be creating their masterpiece using a mixture of materials. Meanwhile, A-level art students have been invited to take a guided tour of the museum's pictorial collection.
On Saturday and Sunday, July 5 and 6, children of all ages have been invited to help create and paint the passengers watching the Bullet leave for its voyage past Mount Fuji.
Graham Relton, of the museum said, "We chose to do sculpture instead of 2D art because it gives the children something out of the ordinary that they can really get stuck into.
"They can appreciate the artistic qualities of the train and begin to understand what an amazing effect it had on the people it served."
