Vacation Art Break

Vacation Art Break

Calling all young artists ages six through twelve! Join us at the Albany Institute for fun, hands-on activities led by our museum educators. Prepare to learn new things, experiment with new ideas, and connect with new people. Throughout school breaks, we will explore the galleries at the Albany Institute and create our own works of art inspired by the exhibitions and collection. Vacation Art Break is designed for children ages 9–12 and 6–8.

Flowers have been painted for thousands of years. The way Ancient Egyptians painted the lotus on temple walls is different from the flowers created by the Hudson River School artists of the nineteenth century or abstract artist Blanche Lazzell. In this art class, we will recreate a flower display as a painting, a print, and a carving and discuss how the Ancient Egyptians, Julia McEntee Dillon, and Blanche Lazzell used these different mediums to create a still life.
