#CONTOUR ARTISTS SERIES#
Artist Frank Stella used the protractor as a tool for his artwork in a series called Protractor Series. Many artists use stencils as tools in creating their artwork. Ready, Set, Stencil: An Educational Workshop on Frank Stella’s Protractor Series This workshop is recommended for young artists ages 8-12.

In the studio, participants will play with layering colors and images, learn monoprinting techniques, and experiment with collage on monoprinted images. Printmaking 101 will begin with a tour of select artwork demonstrating color and layering on view at The Kreeger Museum, then head to the studio for another kind of artistic exploration. This workshop can be modified to accommodate a variety of ages and experience levels. Participants will create an original piece of take-home artwork inspired by these dolls and their powerfully unique history. Get creative while learning about the Paddle Dolls of ancient Egypt in this all-levels mixed media workshop. This workshop is recommended for young artists ages 3-7. Music is everywhere at The Kreeger Museum, an instrument will be supplied if you happen to forget yours. Participants will make music on instruments found at home in this fun and engaging workshop! Whether it is a pot, a frying pan, or a cheese grater, creative rhythms will be built together on the most delightfully unusual instruments. This workshop is recommended for ages 6 and up. Young artists will cut, glue and paste images from magazines and tell a multi-dimensional visual story about themselves in the process. Join us for a fun and joyful activity centered around connecting to the things we love, enjoy, and are inspired by! Participants will be guided through a collage process that is interactive and engaging as we focus on our “hearts desire” as represented visually. This indoor workshop is designed to meet the needs of beginning and intermediate adult artists ages 18 and up.
