After School Art Explorers

Preschoolers and elementary school-aged children are invited to explore and create during these drop-in Tuesday afternoon sessions. Inspired by artworks on view, families will encounter different art-making activities, such as printmaking, mixed-media collages, or sculpture projects.

This program is led by a Museum Educator and assisted by Teen Interns.

October 28: Colorful Clay Sculptures

Use markers to add color to model magic and mold them into fantastical shapes inspired by the colorful work on display in Anish Kapoor: Early Works.

November 4: Dream Dioramas

Design a diorama that represents your hopes and dreams for the future using drawing, collage, and other found materials.

November 18: Mixed Media Nature Patterns 

Use rubbing plates to transfer textures to paper, and layer with other colorful papers and natural materials to create a nature collage.

December 2: Cardboard Constructions

Use paint, recycled cardboard, textured papers, and other found objects to construct a relief design inspired by Louise Nevelson’s sculpture Three Night Figures.
