Join art educators from Pratt Institute for a new season of Saturday afternoon art workshops inspired by Scandinavia House’s new exhibition Danish Paintings from the Golden Age to the Modern Breakthrough: Selections from the Collection of Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr.
Participants will discuss the variety of paintings on view in the exhibition—sunny scenes from Skagen beach, quiet views of Copenhagen apartments, thoughtful portraits and self-portraits, and colorful still lives. After exploring the exhibition and learning to differentiate between the many styles of painting, the children will create their own series of studies and paintings using a variety of media including watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and collage.

directly connected to, and supported by, pedagogical theory with an emphasis on reflection and the development of critical thinking skills.
