Drawing (Ages 8-11)

Learn how to compose with the fundamentals of drawing, including perspective, line, shape, texture, and tone, inspired by still lifes in Mia’s collection. Led by instructor Ilene Krug Mojsilov.

Mia’s youth classes provide fun and challenging hands on art experiences that are enriched and inspired by works of art in the museum’s collection and special exhibitions. Led by experienced art instructors, museum classes offer young people a global view of art history, as well as fascinating insights into artists, techniques, and styles. In the galleries, students spend time learning directly from masterpieces. In the studio, students develop basic art skills, experiment with an array of artistic mediums, and gain confidence through exercises that foster self expression. Creative problem-solving and art-making activities are integrated into each class. Selected artworks by students are displayed in the Community Commons Gallery in the fall.
