UW Art Museum to Offer Preschool Classes in June

The University of Wyoming Art Museum will offer Friday morning preschool classes June 2, 9, 16 and 23 from 10-11 each day.

The Friday morning preschool classes will be led by the Art Museum’s trained teaching artists and educators to help preschool students explore a variety of materials to create unique works of art.

The Art Museum’s June session is titled “Painting Like Hung Liu.” Students will be inspired by the exhibition “Hung Liu: American Exodus” and use paint and collage materials to create art about their families and favorite places. The four-class session is $25 per student. Online registration is available at www.uwyo.edu/artmuseum/learn/prek-12_programs/upcoming-classes-events.

For more information, contact Master Teacher Heather Bender at (307) 766-6622 or hbender1@uwyo.edu. Visit the Art Museum website at www.uwyo.edu/artmuseum, or follow the museum on Facebook.

Through its “Museum as Classroom” approach, the UW Art Museum places art at the center of learning for all ages. Located in the Centennial Complex at 2111 Willett Drive in Laramie, the museum is open Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday hours are extended to 7 p.m. February through April and September through November. Admission is free.
