UW Art Museum to Offer Four-Part Preschool Class in September

The University of Wyoming Art Museum will offer a four-session Friday morning preschool class Sept. 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 10-11 each day.

Each session 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 September class is titled “Making Art like Yim Maline.” Students will be inspired by the exhibition “YIM Maline: Decomposition, 2016” and use cardboard and other recyclable materials to create assemblage sculptures. The four-session class 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) 766-3515 or hbender1@uwyo.edu. Visit the Art Museum website at www.uwyo.edu/artmuseum, or follow the museum on Facebook.

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.
