6 Saturdays, January 10–February 14, 2009
Most are offered morning or afternoon, 10:00–11:30 or 1:00–2:30.
Your child can discover the wonders of the CMA collection and unearth his or her own creativity in the process. Each class visits our newly open galleries every week and learns techniques in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
Art for Parent and Child (age 3), mornings only
Four hands are always better than two! Parents and children work together to create images and objects inspired by the museum’s collection. Limit 12 children and 12 parents.
More Mini-Masters (ages 4–5)
Exploration, invention, and discovery are encouraged as younger children talk about art and then work with a variety of materials. Students sharpen small motor and observational skills while having fun.
Line Around (ages 5–6)
Young artists search for lines in our galleries, and then experiment with line interpretation using pencils, paint brushes, and even sticks to produce a variety of lines.
Vivid Visions (ages 6–8)
Using myth, reality, and images from our galleries, students are inspired to create images in a variety of colors, materials, and techniques.
Art Explorers Wanted (ages 8–10)
Students study art from the past to the present—from medieval armor and courtly garb to the furniture and decorations of today. Youngsters learn about style and expression as they explore art works in the galleries and then sharpen visual thinking skills in the studio.
Mixed Up Media (ages 10–12)
Moving beyond the basics, students explore how art processes can be combined to create lively compositions. Materials may include the familiar and the fantastic.
Teens Draw It (ages 13–17), afternoons only
Students use perspective, contour, and shading to create expressive drawings and linear experiments to strengthen their drawing skills. Students draw from observation in the galleries as well as in the studio classroom.
Claymation (ages 10 and up), mornings only
Learn how to create characters from armatures and artist clay and design background sets. Then use our editing equipment to produce stop-action animation. Advanced assignments for previous students. Special fee: $150, CMA members $125; supplies included. Bring your own digital camera. Limit 10.
