| A variety of free programming for children and families is offered throughout the year. |
ArtReach The objective of ArtReach is to provide opportunities for self-expression and communication through the visual arts. Each hands-on workshop is designed for a particular age group and relates to specific works of art on view. Participants will learn how to work with different media and gain knowledge of elements of art while being introduced to a specific artist’s work and his or her inspiration. Students will create an original work of art based on the skills learned in the workshop. Please email education@kemperart.org or call (816) 457-6137. ArtReach is made possible by the generous support of the Curry Family Foundation. Sunday, May 19 Using the large-scale photographs of Laura McPhee as inspiration, students will construct sculptural scenes out of various art materials. Then students will add a small scale photograph of themselves in the scene. Join instructor Brenda Brinkhous-Hatch on this exploration of people in nature.
