Artistic Adventure at the Denver Art Museum

Join Teacher Carmel on an artistic adventure at the newly renovated Martin Building at The Denver Art Museum. Children will create their own collages, and participate in several reflective and exciting activities on-site with Carmel at The Creative Hub! Alongside the magnificent works of art housed within the museum, Carmel will guide children through inquiry on what inspires artists, and together read the book, "Anywhere Artist," by Nikki Robinson. Kids will traverse the museum with Carmel, analyzing and enjoying paintings and mixed media artwork through engaging questions, imaginative thought exercises, and story telling! Children will also stop for a snack break at the museum cafe. Snacks/lunch may be pre-packed, or purchased during the experience at the cafe by Carmel (please advise on your wishes should you choose the latter).

What Parents Are Saying

Carmel was incredible! She clearly has a ton of experience teaching young children and our daughter had a blast!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Ms Carmel gave our kids a super fun experience with their friends and helped us out while we had to work over fall break. She was great with the kids and kept them engaged, learning and having fun!

Our daughter was able to pronounce “Kandinsky” by the end of the experience. She also brought home some yummy cookies to share with us!
