With the use of plastics, collage, metal, wire, found objects, special pencils and more… these energetic tours are engaging to even our youngest tour-goers! Both parent and child are introduced to modern and contemporary artists, diverse cultures, a wide variety of mediums and techniques on-site.

One afternoon in 2009, deep in Brooklyn, children explored numerous facets of the Something Out of Nothing exhibition while learning more about the fundamentals of art and their own creativity. As a group they made their own video of “flying” lesson, they did an improvisation with their own invisible dog leashes, an “I spy” to introduce them to the exhibition pieces, a lesson in photography, a freight elevator ride (to the 2nd floor for hot chocolate) and finally a drawing lesson for creating an image out of shapes (the dog).
