Arts Education at the Armory Saturday Arts Workshops May 15, May 22, May 29 12:30pm and 1:30pm
Christian Boltanski, France’s most important living artist, creates a thought-provoking, immersive installation that brings to life universal human experiences through everyday objects. No Man’s Land, on view May 14 -June 13, 2010, is an exploration of timeless issues of memory and loss—encouraging visitors of all ages to connect with historic events on the individual level. Families with children ages 6-11 are invited to explore No Man’s Land in our “Armory Art Detective” session that will encourage careful observation, reflection, dialogue, and art-making to provide a deeper investigation of the installation. Sessions will begin at 12:30pm and 1:30pm and families will work through a series of stations at their own pace. Activities will include: A teaching artist guiding families in the construction of a collage artwork Children having the opportunity to record their own heartbeat Participants working with a teaching artist to create their very own performance poetry $15 per family; includes all materials and admission to the installation.
