The museum offers a popular series of studio classes for children on Saturdays throughout the academic year and on weekdays during the summer.
The Early Explorations program welcomes children ages 5 to 7, while Contemporary Creations classes provide more advanced lessons for children ages 8 to 11.
Students explore and discuss selected works of art, developing their critical thinking skills and expanding their cultural awareness; they then create original works of art in the museum’s studio classroom.
Instructors demonstrate basic techniques, teach principles of design and guide students as they express their own ideas through a variety of media.
