Let’s face it—adding art to your kids’ lives can be a lot of work. So why not let us take a turn?
Designed for ages eight through ten, this program is a great way to supplement a home art curriculum without all the stress of wrangling supplies and project lists. We’ll spend time in the galleries learning about art, then head into the studio to flex those creative muscles and create something inspired by the collection. (Don’t worry—we’ll take care of the clean-up!)
This month, we’re continuing our focus on art FUNdamentals with core painting skills! Throughout the month, we’ll cover the basics of paint mixing, watercolors, and acrylics. With the confidence and excitement that comes from creative fun, your little artists are sure to find plenty to love here at the museum. And with five miles of trails, expansive galleries, restaurant Eleven, and the nearby coffee bar, you just might too.
Come make Crystal Bridges your new weekly routine—sign up today!
