Pieces of Me
Weekdays Sept-Dec
K-5
How do we create a picture of who we are? In this workshop, kids will explore identity by examining works of art in the exhibition The Legacy of Two Centuries of Black American Art. They will learn how artists express where they came from, who the important people are in their lives, and what they value, by closely examining a variety of works in different media. Kids will create a watercolor oil-pastel paper quilt of their identity in a hands-on session.
Email desopoh@dickinson.edu to set up a time for your group.
