Have you ever tried drawing a picture of the streets where you live? Why not try it as a family activity this summer?

Getting started is easy with this wonderful drawing workshop, inspired by the paintings of L. S. Lowry and his street scenes of people going about their lives and work. After you've copied his, you could try one of your own view of where you live.

"Most of my land and townscape is...part real and part imaginary ... bits and pieces of my home locality. I don't even know I'm putting them in. They just crop up on their own, like things do in dreams." L. S. Lowry
