Parents Love Museum Adventures

Here’s what parents are saying about Museum Adventures:

“Your tours offer what many parents want to give to their kids and may not know exactly how.”

“You do a great job introducing sophisticated material to the kids– without dumbing it down nor having it go over their heads. That’s a tricky balance and you do it well!”

“Claire is amazing and really knows her stuff when it comes to art theory and art history. You can tell she really loves working with kids and loves art.”

Tour of Africa at the Met!

Check out the big smailes from all of the fun we had!

Dali-inspired Melting Clocks!

Art Adventures Studio embossed and built their own Dali-inspired functioning clocks! Clocks were designed and constructed to reflect the “melting” of Dali’s famous clocks.

You and your child can make your own (a great Father’s Day gift) this Saturday, June 1st @4-5:30pm – contact us!

Alina Szapocznikow Body Sculptures

Using alginate and plaster to explore negative space, students learned how to mix skin color and painted their hands in their own unique ways.
Check out the results of the second part of this project:

Nathalie Djurberg Animal Sculptures

Nathalie Djurberg animal sculpture required many steps! Thinking about a skeleton inside of a sculpture to keep it strong, which shape to make it and which animal to build! With the use of armature wire, aluminum foil, plaster wrap and paint, these are our amazing creatures that took 3 weeks!

We also made Murakami inspired projects in honor of Mother’s Day. Take a look:

Color Theory at the Met with Museum Adventures!

This past Friday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum Adventures explored Color Theory through the work of Robert Ryman, Rothko, and Josef Albers.

Take a peek…

Alina Szapocznikow Body Sculptures

Using alginate and plaster to explore negative space, to see humor in art using body parts and learning an extreme amount of self control, students were challenged to create a hand gesture and hold it for up to 10 min. as the alginate mold was created.
