SUMMARY:Creative Saturdays
DESCRIPTION:Start your weekend with free art-making fun for all ages and skill levels in AMFA’s Windgate Art School! \nInspired by the revolutionary Cubist works of Picasso\, Braque\, and Rivera on view in Rivera’s Paris\, this Creative Saturdays activity invites you to explore the world of Cubism through paper collage. \nUse paper and dry media to experiment with bold shapes\, fragmented perspectives\, and overlapping planes to mirror the innovative techniques that redefined modern art. By layering and deconstructing forms\, create a dynamic composition that captures the essence of this groundbreaking movement. \n\nCreative Saturdays are supported by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nThe Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. \nWindgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported in part by Michael Laughter. Reduced tuition is automatically applied on all classes through 2025. \nRivera’s Paris is supported in part by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts Foundation and the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. \n

SUMMARY:Making Together: Clay Vases (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Make a pair of vases inspired by the art on view in Rivera’s Paris during this engaging hands-on workshop! \nParticipants will explore the artworks of Rivera’s Paris by visiting the AMFA galleries to gather inspiration from the colors\, textures\, and shapes seen in the exhibition. Guided by expert instruction\, participants will learn essential ceramics techniques\, including how to shape and form their vase\, apply underglazes for vibrant color\, and use carving tools to create surface designs. \nOnce complete\, AMFA staff will apply a clear glaze to enhance the details and brighten the colors. After kiln firing\, the finished vases will be ready for pickup in three weeks. \nNo prior experience is necessary—just bring your creativity and get ready to sculpt\, carve\, and design in clay! \n\nRivera’s Paris is supported in part by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts Foundation with additional support from the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. \nThe Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. \nWindgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported by Michael Laughter.
