A fun, hands-on approach to learning art history
Putting young students in the minds and hands of the artist
This highly engaging, personalized five week program is offered virtually or in person. We meet and explore five great artists, engaging children in hands-on-projects to learn more about the artists, their lives, their times, and why they matter today. The program culminates with a guided tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (parents are welcome to join), where we meet our new artist friends “in-person” and see the works we have already learned about.
