Projects

The best way to “meet” our artist friends is through actual projects — the centerpiece of each session that introduces a new artist.

After a brief introduction to the artist in age-appropriate language — their times, challenges, success, and what makes them relevant today — we engage in a hands-on project with the students. Using materials we have provide (at no cost) before the session begins, the students make a piece of art based on one of the artist’s great works. The instructions are simple, and we go step-by-step with the students, staying actively engaged (even via Zoom) to help students along the way.

Examples of the fun and creative art projects that kids have made during the program:
