Chagall for Children October 17, 2008

'Chagall for Children' focuses on the works of renowned artist Marc Chagall. This pioneering exhibit is a unique approach to introducing children to art through the life and work of a master artist, helping children and adults alike develop a greater understanding and appreciation of all forms of artistic expression. The exhibit is designed to engage visitors in the exploration of both art and the artist through 15 interactive, multi-sensory components. Each component features one of Chagall's works with an accompanying hands-on activity in a variety of media that encourages the visitor to explore and work with specific art principals such as color, composition, light and texture. Many stations are accompanied with audio descriptions, highlighting information about the artwork upon which the interactive is based. An extensive selection of books about the artist is provided to encourage further exploration and to stimulate literacy learning.
