Hands on Art Making

Saturday, March 12 & Sunday, March 13
Art Studio and Glow Cave Hands-on Art projects are complimentary with Kidseum admission.

Art Studio

Diego Rivera Watercolor

Children will create drawings inspired by the images of Popul Vuh, created by Diego Rivera. They will then learn and apply basic water color techniques such as wet-in-wet and dry brush painting and mixing colors to create their own Popul Vuh artwork. Visit the Bowers Museum’s Popol Vuh exhibition to experience Diego Rivera’s Art Work.

Clover Headband

Inspired by St. Patrick’s Day, children will decorate their own headband using tissue paper. Small children can develop and practice fine motor skills by gluing tissue paper to create fun patterns.

Glow Cave

Frida Kahlo Coloring Page

Famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo was known for her beautiful self-portraits; your children can use glow-in-the-dark color pencils to color their own Frida Kahlo Portrait.

Leprechaun Puppet

Leprechauns are a type of fairy in Irish Folklore. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Children can explore the Glow in the Dark Cave and color their own leprechaun puppet to take home.
