Observe, Interpret, and Create
Free for Students and Educators
Designed for Grades 3–12
In-Person Student Art Workshops are now available!
Student Art Workshops offer the chance for students to pair the processes of observing and interpreting art from the Museum galleries with the exploratory process of creating art in response through workshops led by our Art+Empathy Museum Educators. This free workshop is designed to offer a unique art experience in person at the Museum.
Students visit the Museum and Museum Art School to:
- Observe and interpret art in the Museum galleries
- Explore ideas and experiment with studio art processes and materials
- Make connections between the artworks on display in the Museum and the art they individually create
- Engage in creative expression and personal visual storytelling through art
Presented with support from the Julie Sourisa Memorial Art Fund.

Printmaking
Students are invited to explore the theme of movement in works of art in the Museum galleries, from the human figure in motion to abstract representations of energy and flow. In the studio, students will have an opportunity to visually explore their ideas around figurative and emotional movement through a series of printmaking methods.
