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:
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.)
While learning about color mixing, 3-8 year-olds have fun constructing colorful stuffed “Soft Sculptures.” See slideshow:
Create the perfect disguise for any party! Italian mask-making is a unique art, and carefully planned with lots of fun materials.
During this class, you will you will design, paint, and adorn your very own striking Venetian mask with fancy jewels & exotic feathers, right along with your child. Male masks will also be available.

I’ve been wanting to do this Damien Hirst kids project for a few years, it just took a while to get it down for both the very young hands to feel successful, as well as to engage older kids. What worked well was that they could add as many details as they wanted, or work for a little while and still have a nice piece to take home. A lot of prep work though! But all worth the excitement it created, and the imaginations it inspired.
