Family Sundays: Reflect and Reshape
Family Sundays at the Henry
Second Sundays | 2-3:30 pm
June 9th, July 14th, August 11
Family Sundays at the Henry are especially designed for adults and children to learn and create together. Each month, inspired by art on view at the Henry, we'll focus on different activities and new ways of immersing ourselves in the art. Family Sundays are best suited for elementary-aged children, but we encourage older or younger kids to join.
REFLECT AND RESHAPE
Take a close look at t he Henry's exterior walls and you will find a series of paintings made with bicycle and truck reflectors of various sizes and colors. Haven't seen them yet or not sure where to find them? Then join us as we explore Richard Elliott's, Cycle of the Sun and the influences that helped shape his work including geometry, quilting patterns and basket weaving designs. Back in the Education Lounge we'll make a work on paper inspired by different patterns and your personal story!
