KIDS ROCKWELL Summer Exhibition
We Are Made of Star Stuff by Yen Ospina
On view: June 16, 2023 - October 15, 2023
Ithaca-based artist Yen Ospina created brand new large-scale drawings to brighten up our Art Lab walls and imaginations!
In 2023, visitors will join the Art Lab for an experience reflecting The Rockwell Museum’s annual theme celebrating Heroes.
Enjoy activities, games and hands-on projects connected to our exciting special exhibitions and collection of American artworks.
Here’s what you’ll find at the Art Lab today…
Model Magic
Use this lightweight modeling material to sculpt a critter, object, or anything your imagination desires! You can take it home with you or swap with another artist using the trading board.
Paper Puppets
Decorate a paper bag to look like a critter, with a mouth that opens and closes! Use your new puppet to put on a show in the puppet theater.
Magic Wands
Make your very own magical wand featuring stars and streamers. Use it as a prop in the puppet theater!
Watercolor Planets
Create a celestial scene using watercolor pencils. See how the colors blend and swirl on your paper when you add water!
Sugar Skull Printmaking
Create a festive sugar skull stamp and use it to decorate a greeting card for Day of the Dead! Add a colorful paper flower crown to complete your project.
