About this unit

Filmmakers, poets, photographers, and designers–they're all artists in their own right. But what happens when some of today's leading creatives come face to face with works of art in the Tate collection? Take a look into the nature of creative inspiration, watch new forms take shape, and have a go at crafting and sharing your own inspired works of art.
