Dallas Museum of Art – Family and Teen Programming

AGES 6-8
Sense-sational Art
July 29–August 2
9:00 a.m.–noon
Teacher: DMA Staff

Have fun with your five senses as we experience art with more than just our eyes. We’ll find inspiration in works of art from the Museum’s collection, and then experiment in the studio with collage, painting, drawing, printing, and more. Make a texture collage, test your sense of smell, try blindfolded painting, and more. Each day will focus on a different sense, leading up to a final exhibition that will be a true sense-sation!

Art Olympics
July 29–August 2
1:00–4:00 p.m.
Teacher: Carolyn Marco

No need to qualify for these Art-lympics, because every camper is a champion! We’ll take an artistic approach to celebrating the 2024 Summer Olympics and learn all about the original Olympic games more than 2,000 years ago. We’ll track the Olympic medal count in real time and take a closer look at artworks from countries competing in the Paris games. In the studio, compete in art games, make your own Olympic medal, design a flag, and create a masterpiece worthy of a gold medal.

Ever wish you could visit Neverland, The 100 Acre Wood, Arendelle, or Narnia?
