Bring your family to investigate materials, methods, and ideas in art.
After looking closely at Alma Thomas’s vibrant Breeze Rustling Through Fall Flowers (family-friendly tour at 11 am), explore the ways that nature can inspire your art. As you experiment with color, composition, and shape, how will your creativity blossom?
In addition to exploring art materials and methods in the studio, families may enjoy the carpeted, creative-play area with blocks, books, toys, and games.
