School's Out/Art's In at the Katonah Museum of Art

Portraits are the theme for these fun school vacation activities. Create colorful collage person, learn to draw a portrait, construct an unusual head, and print an expressive face. These are just some of the projects we have planned!

November 29: Colorful Collage Faces
Using bright colored paper and fun scissors, children will create collaged faces that are unique and playful.

December 24: Portrait Drawing
Children will use special drawing materials to explore the elements of a face through drawing.  From proportion to detail and expression, children will learn a few new drawing skills, and come away with a special portrait drawing.

December 27: Painted Portraits
