Week 1: Getting to Know You Create a “Collage about Me” with a variety of interesting art materials. Explore KMA’s current exhibition and themes found throughout the museum with a scavenger hunt based on colors and shapes.

Week 2: Parent & Child Mindfulness through Art 
Child and caregiver will create an art piece that brings a sense of awareness to oneself with serene hues. A mini session of playful yoga stretching and mindfulness will be introduced in this session as well. This is a great class to celebrate Mother’s Day a little early.

Week 3: My Favorite Color 
Your child will create an art piece based on their favorite color and its meaning. Use a variety of paints, water colors, pastels, crayons, and markers. Parachute time and storytime about colors will be featured in this session.

Week 4: Outdoor Art As a celebration of our 4 week program, this session takes us outdoors. Find a natural object that inspires a nature-themed masterpiece. We will conclude our session with a fun picnic (bring your own snack) as well as a book fair featuring the outdoors, play and summer.
