The Summer Child Art Class is an educational program associated with The Harmon and Harriet Kelley Collection of African American Art: Works on Paper, a special exhibition that features 19th, 20th, and 21st century Black artists. Showcased are intimate drawings, turn-of-the-century watercolors, pastels, bright abstract acrylics, gouaches, and mixed media works. Etchings, lithographs, linoleum cuts, and silkscreens represent artists who worked from the early 20th century to our days.
Alex George is an experienced instructor who teaches drawing, painting, sculpture, and print-making to both adults and children in museum-based and classroom contexts. She started her career as an artist educator for the Mexic-Arte Museum, followed up with years of teaching for the Art School at the Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria. Currently, she is the elementary art teacher for 4th and 5th graders at Hyde Park School.
Family programs provide educational and engaging activities for young Texans and their caregivers. Programs are designed to bring families together, spark conversations and provide opportunities for growth and development.
