Kidz Central Station’s Lauren Pohl joins us for a Modern Museum Adventure!

Museum Adventures took Lauren Pohl, founder of Kidz Central Station, on a tour for 4-5’s to visit a list of artists tailored to young learners:  Rosenquist, Yves Tinguely, Roy Lichtenstein and Ellsworth Kelly.  In just one tour (at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), we learned about advertising, color and everyday objects (Rosenquist), discovered lines in everyday objects (Tinguely), made lines, dots and patterns (Lichtenstein) and made our very own color wheels and color-mixing window collages (Ellsworth Kelly)!  There wasn’t much time to explore the stop-motion animation of William Kentridge’s installation, Refusal of Time, nor Al Held’s colored shapes… but then again, a good tour knows when to stop, leaving more for next time!  Check it out:

Chagall Teaches Fantasy & Color Mixing!

Cold dreary days looking out of my window inspired the use of vellum and a basic color-mixing lesson using copies of his animals to draw or trace, color and overlay with colorful blues, pinks and yellows to make the secondary colors…

Hey color aficionados- Why is it you can still make a rainbow with pink?!  (Ask Ellsworth Kelly.)

Gallery Tours and Classes This Winter and Spring!

Thank you Lauren Pohl, Founder of Kid’s Central Station for highlighting our programs with Yahoo Finance!

We loved how it turned out!

Snowfall reminiscent of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Rooms

Waking up to the snowfall this morning reminded me of Yayoi’s Installation “Fireflies On The Water.”  A new version of Deirdre’s child’s project in the works!  Definitely mirror boards and poster board involved.  Stay tuned….
