Making Sense of Art
Sunday, October 9, 12pm
Explore art and smell in our current exhibition Scents of Movement, Scents of Place. In the Atrium, use your five senses (sight, smell, hearing, touch & taste) to experiment with materials and techniques such as painting with tea, creating a textured sculpture with fabric and paper, and finally making a soundscape from found materials.
All Day Sundays at the AGA provides families the opportunity to spend the afternoon exploring art and ideas connected to current exhibitions. With programs and projects scheduled throughout the day, families can stay for a while or drop-in for a quick visit. All Day Sunday activities include hands-on art-making, storytelling, performances, Gallery visits and collaborative projects.
