Do you like to color outside the lines and think outside the box? You’re in good company!

From Monet and Morisot creating art that leaves an impression, to contemporary artists making art out of advertisements, we’ll explore how artists challenge themselves and viewers to see the world in new ways. In the studio, try some artistic rule breaking of your own as we paint with unusual tools, transform recyclables into masterpieces, and become art rebels!
