Contemporary Kids
Colours, Patterns, and Wearable
November 26 & December 3
10:00 AM-12:00 PM
For children ages 4-12.
Join us for an Exhibition Tour and Pattern Exploration inspired by the work of Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins.
Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities.
Inspired by paintings of the costumes from ‘ABCD’ by Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins, kids will engage in a hands-on project where they will explore colour and pattern composition. Using craft and drawing materials, participants will create a paper wearable top while considering the self-expression and pattern design on clothing.
For children ages 4-12. Maximum group of 30 children, with one guardian per child.
Snacks and workshop supplies will be provided.
This workshop is offered on two dates for your convenience: Sunday, November 26 and Sunday, December 3. Please choose a session that suits your schedule best.
