Turner Contemporary’s Turner Skies Mindful Moment Activity

Take a mindful moment.

This activity asks your students to take a mindful moment to look at the view from Turner Contemporary, and use it as an anchor to pull them back to the present moment. Students will practice concentration, close looking and awareness as they take in the seascape, and then translate their unique experience into an artwork with their classmates.

This resource is part of Turner Contemporary’s Creative Mindfulness activities. In support of the recovery curriculum, these seven Creative Mindfulness activities have been designed to help students relax, recuperate, and refocus in school time, as well as to inspire creativity.

You can use these videos in the classroom as a lesson starter for any subject, to begin or end the day, or as a creative prompt for art lessons. Each of the seven activities has been broken down into step by step chapters you and your students can join in with; the activities take 5-10 minutes.

This resource is suitable for KS3, but also students and adults of all ages can use these resources to find a moment of creative calm.
