SUMMARY:Open Arts Studio | Build a Model
DESCRIPTION:Explore the magic of design in this playful\, hands-on workshop! Inspired by handcrafted models of Dancing Trees\, the new seating in the Plaza\, created by Kazuyo Sejima & Associates\, children will embark on a scavenger hunt — searching the Plaza to match each miniature model to its full-sized sculptural bench. \nAfter discovering how designers turn ideas into form\, participants will head into the studio to create their own original model out of clay — shaping\, molding\, and transforming their ideas into something they can hold. It’s a creative adventure that brings architecture to life for young makers. \nOpen Arts Studio is a site-specific creative exploration for younger audiences to engage in open-ended inquiry and reflect on the building\, its shapes and designs\, and its ideas. This ongoing series\, offered weekly\, is led by Grace Farms Arts Educator Nancy Jameson. Recommended for ages 4-11 with adult caregivers.
