This map pinpoints 33 locations throughout Northbridge to discover a wonderful collection of high quality Urban Art murals. The map gives you website and instagram links so you can discover more of the artists work. Teachers or tour leaders can download the accompanying Map Guide which gives you more detailed information about each artwork and gives you walking directions to the next location. If participants are completing the tour worksheet (found in the Term Planner pack) this guide will also remind you when to complete these activities. It is a great starting point of inspiration for any painting, sculpture, drawing, print making or painting projects that you have planned or just as a tool to enrich students' understanding of the arts industry on a local level. Note: The Term Planner pack contains a worksheet to complete during the tour, in which students gather materials to complete the other worksheets in the pack.
