Art Museum Classes for Youth

Contemporary Creations classes (ages 8-11) and NEW Early Explorations classes (ages 5-7) are interactive art learning experiences. Students learn directly from the diverse works of art in JCCC’s nationally acclaimed permanent collection and temporary exhibition in the new Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. During each session, students explore and discuss selected works of art, developing critical thinking skills and expanding cultural awareness. Then, students create original works of art in the museum’s studio classroom. Instructors demonstrate basic techniques, teach principles of design, and guide students as they express their own ideas through a variety of media. A wide array of class topics and projects will be featured on Saturdays throughout the academic year and weekdays in the summer.
