see.think.do! invites youth and adults to the Firehouse Center for an interactive arts experience. Visits last approximately 1–1.5 hours and begin in the gallery with open-ended questioning, discussion and hands-on activities. Visits conclude in the studio classroom where students will create their own original artwork to take home.
Elusive Truths
May 2–June 14 , 2008
We invite students and teachers to the Firehouse Gallery to explore how a variety of contemporary artists use charts, maps and graphs to reveal themes and patterns in art, advertising, and the mass media. This interactive, hands-on program will conclude in the studio classroom, where students will be encouraged to create their own unique artwork to take home.
