Monsters in the Mix?
Spencer Museum of Art, KU
Our entertaining, interactive programs for children ages 5-14 combine art education with hands-on creation. Each week, students explore selected art works in the museum and make their own art based on the techniques, media and traditions they discover. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Ages 5-8 years old meet 10:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. and ages 9-14 years old meet 1:30-3:30 p.m. Classes are $12*/$10 for Friends of the Art Museum children.
Hunt for images of the gory and the grotesque in ancient and medieval art. Use natural materials and found objects to create your own hairy, scary, monstrous mask.
Teacher: Sorcha Hyland
