This program is designed to encourage creativity and stimulate imagination through museum activities, art appreciation, and exposure to ancient cultures. Participants will have an opportunity to use the exhibit of In the Shadow of the Volcanoes: Contemporary Art from the Mountains of Central Mexico to learn about contemporary Mexican artists and their medium in order to create a work of art in a similar manner. They will also look at past Mexican artists such as the muralist painters Diego Rivera, Orozco and Siquieros as well as Frida Kahlo. The final project will delve into the mysteries of the Mayans and Aztecs, by looking closely at their architecture, art and culture. Participants will create a work of art that reflects the works of these wondrous ancient civilizations from Mexico.
There is a minimum enrollment of ten (10) and a maximum enrollment of fifteen (15).
This event is presented as part of the Workshops for Kids program in conjunction with the Turchin Center exhibition In the Shadow of the Volcanoes: Contemporary Art from the Mountains of Central Mexico.
