THE COLOR CREW

Ages 6-12 | 6-session

One color. One week. One masterwork. One project. One world.

The Color Crew explores the universe through a single lens—color. Each of the six weeks is dedicated to one color and children discover how that color has moved, inspired and transformed artists across centuries and continents.

Before they pick up a brush, they look. The Kids Zone is hung with reproductions of masterworks featuring that week’s color—paintings by Mary Cassatt, Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keefe, Paul Signac and others—showing children how the same color can feel completely different in different hands. Then they make their own.

Red—a three dimensional flame sculpture

Blue—a painted underwater scene

Green—an assemblage garden

Yellow—sunburst prints

Orange—Picasso inspired self-portraits in college

Purple—an imaginary galaxy painting.

Six colors. Six projects. Six weeks of learning of really see.

All programs are free to children or families.
