CIMA Kids! A New Family Program at the Center for Italian Modern Art
June 10, 2017
The Center for Italian Modern Art is pleased to announce a new series of family programs led by artists, museum educators, and our scholars in residence. By incorporating guided conversation with close looking and a workshop activity, children develop meaningful relationships to art in an intimate exhibition environment.
What Makes You You?
For children ages 8-11
Description: Explore the exhibition Giorgio de Chirico / Giulio Paolini – Giulio Paolini / Giorgio de Chirico and discover how two different artists deal with self-portraiture and repetition. How do these two artists use fashion, objects, symbols and gestures to communicate their identity? How can we access near and distant histories to tell stories about who we are now and where we come from?
Workshop: Working with artisanal papers, magazines and crayons, participants will use their newfound knowledge from the exhibition to make their own self-expression, working around the question: What makes you you?
Pre-Assignment: Please bring in a printed self-portrait 8.5×11 inches (standard paper size)
FREE, RSVP REQUIRED
(Please note 1 reservation admits an adult and a child)
Schedule
10am — Welcome
10.15am — Start of the activity: Tour of the exhibition and Workshop with creative activity

While the children are engaged in their creative activity, caretakers are invited to enjoy an Italian coffee, read books from CIMA’s library, peruse newspapers or tour the exhibition with our scholars in residence.
