Family Programs: 3ft Deep

Come on in and take a dip into the world of art! Designed especially for preschool children and their caregivers, our ’3ft Deep’ programs promote imaginative thinking, social-emotional growth, and expressive use of language.

For this special 3ft Deep, the Blanton is collaborating with an educator from The University of Texas Children’s Research Center to introduce a half-hour gallery activity followed by a process-focused art project in the WorkLAB studio. All activities emphasize creative and interpretive processes inspired by Reggio Emilia approaches, as well as adult-child collaboration. Space is limited to 12 participants (children and adults). For this event, we will be taking inspiration from Willem De Kooning’s ’Untitled,’ 1985 oil painting.

Special Instructions:

* Preregistration is strongly encouraged. Space is limited. Online registration begins on October 31 and closes November 6 (click on LEARN MORE below).  Purchased tickets ensure admission to the museum for the day.

* If a class is full and you would like to add your child to a waitlist, please email familyprograms@blantonmuseum.org.
