Visual literacy begins with a love for pictures and storytelling. This series combines the best (and often obscure) picture book artists, storytelling in the Museums galleries, and art-making in the studio into one, fun adventure. Learn about color mixing from Hervé Tullet, shape-changing from Eric Carle, mice who enjoy messes from Leo Lionni, and a range of emotions from Molly Bang and Patricia Polacco to name just a few. Bring your favorite stuffy friend to accompany you on your adventure.
Perseverance is the key for maturing artists who are finding their own way through the means of heightened self-expression, competitive skill set, and individuation. This workshop encourages students to make personal connections with artists featured in the museum’s collection as they divide and conquer self-doubt, perfectionism, and the need to imbue meaning through symbolism and representation. Sign up and build relationships with others who think like you.
