Step 2
Be inspired by Tate's Collection. Come to the gallery, explore artists in Tate Kids, or choose an artwork from the selection above. Choose artworks that Morph can have fun with. We think that portraits and landscapes work really well!
Print your chosen artworks. Try to fit your 3 favourite artworks on 1 page of A4.

Step 3
You now need to storyboard your animation.
Imagine and plan the story for the animation. What do you think Morph would get up to in the gallery? Would he remix two artworks? Maybe putting a cat's face on a portrait? Would he pretend to be the art? What would happen if he dived into one?
Once you’ve decided on your story, draw it out on the storyboard.
