Art is moving, uplifting and inspiring and doing art projects with children only enhances the experience. The Boca Raton Museum hosts a number of children programs.  One is called Creation Station.  Once a month children learn about a master artist on exhibit and have the opportunity to create a masterpiece in the style of the selected artist.  On Saturday, I worked with about 15 children in creating a piece of Optical Art.  The activity was inspired by a piece in the museum titled Tribal by Richard Anuskiewicz.  Tribal is large scale non-objective art.  Anuskiewicz applies colors both complementary and analogous to create energy or movement on canvas.

It is a wonderful way for children to learn about art in a fun and relaxed manner so if you live in the Boca area, check out the schedule at www.bocamuseum.org.
