With support from the California Arts Council, Museum of Children’s Art will design the basics of the visual arts and how to integrate the arts into the learning environment. This workshop will encompass the basic and advances elements of art through hands-on practice, documentation, discussion, and reflection. The lessons are taught in a sequential order that foster art integration into a variety of subject areas and accessibility into arts learning.
MOCHA annually serves 30,000 Bay Area children, youth and their families, in three core program areas: School Programs, through which professional teaching artists lead sequential art lessons in classrooms and after school programs and provide professional development to teachers; Museum Programs, which include exhibits, open studios, field trips, art parties, art camps and family workshops in our downtown Oakland museum; and Community Programs, through which we bring interactive art making and family programming to libraries, recreation centers, festivals and other public venues.
