Contemporary Kids
Shapes, Composition, and Kinetic
October 29 & November 19
10:00 AM-12:00 PM
For children ages 4-12.
Join us for an Exhibition Tour and Art in Motion Workshop 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 installation and paintings from “Balancing Act” by Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins, kids will engage in a hands-on project where they will explore art in physical motion. Using paper and crafting materials, participants will create simple kinetic compositions while considering the relationship of moving elements in Kinetic art.
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, October 29 and Sunday, November 19. Please choose a session that suits your schedule best.
