ArtReach Session 2: Historical Art
Kemper Museum offers free workshops that allow children with and without special needs to create art together, in collaboration with the Center for Child Health and Development at the University of Kansas Medical Center. 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 learn how to work with different media and gain knowledge of elements of art while being introduced to a specific artist’s art and inspiration, then create an original work of art based on the skills learned in the workshop. All materials provided.
Session 2: Historical Art
After discovering a collection of photographs of Chinese women from the 1800s and early 1900s, the artist Hung Liu began using these historical images in her paintings. In this ArtReach workshop, participants will explore the dynamic artwork of Hung Liu and create their own mixed media art that combines historical photography with other art materials!
