DMA Homeschool Family Class













.
.

Today was the first ever Homeschool Family Class at the Dallas Museum of Art! We loved it! It's an interactive program for families with youth 6-12 years old. Today's topic was Center Stage and we looked at the All the world's a stage exhibit, with galleries the celebrate performances in the visual arts.
.We focused on a series of Isadora Duncan Dancing sketches by Abraham Walkowitz. The kids took turns mimicking the poses. Later we looked at a series of pastels by Edgar Degas. The kids sketched each other posing. In the studio, we used different materials and created original costumes for a cardboard dancer.
.Abigail and Caleb created break dancers and Frankie created a ballet dancer, me I went for the Flamenco dancer, Ole'!
