Family Fare connects art viewing with art making in ways that engage both young people and their grown-ups. Participate in guided viewing and discussion in the galleries with a UC Berkeley graduate-student guide and then explore related ideas in the Art Lab with an experienced teaching artist. Each session focuses on a different group of artworks and related hands-on activities. 

In this session, led by artist Beth Krebs, families will explore artworks that play with optical effects. Using Lee Mullican’s Illustrated Man, on view in Berkeley Eye: Perspectives on the Collection, as inspiration, create your own shimmering drawings by layering lines and shapes in colored tape over watercolor painting.

Sign up onsite beginning fifteen minutes before the session you wish to attend. Be advised that space is limited to twelve kids per session; please arrive promptly to sign up.
