Summer Arts: Give Me Space

The works in this gallery were selected from the Danforth Art Museum’s Permanent Collection to provide a dedicated learning space for the students participating in our Summer Arts classes.  Summer Arts is an immersive program that uses a variety of studio practices to provide a comprehensive art experience for children. In addition to keeping a portfolio and showing their work at Friday Exhibitions, all students receive a formal tour of the Museum, learning how to view art critically with a focus on developing visual literacy.

This summer’s theme, Give Me Space, invites students to examine the concept of space through a variety of interpretations and perspectives. The works on view here reflect a rich range of imagery filled with color, imagination, and creative explorations of the many ways we can make—and discover—space.
