Art is a great way for children to understand the world around them, and express that understanding. It allows them to shape their imaginations into a created form. The Walters Art Museum offers families with children the opportunity to discover the art world through hands-on programs such as Drop-In Art Activities.
People, Portraits and Power
On Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Walters Art Museum offers Drop-In Art Activities, a program suitable for families and children. The current monthly theme is People, Portraits and Power. This program is free and pre-registration is not required.
The first thing everyone notices when they meet you is your face. Faces have eyes, mouth, nose and ears that have different shapes and sizes. They help us to express our thoughts and emotions. Inspired by the Revealing African Presence in Renaissance Europe exhibition, children will “…re-create our favorite faces in imaginative ways to help us learn more about ourselves and the people we care about.”
