The James Watrous Gallery and the Madison Children’s Museum are joining forces to offer a special “family fun” workshop on creating dioramas at 1:00 pm on Sunday, November 8th.
After stopping by the Madison Children’s Museum at 100 State Street to register and pick up name tags, participants will visit the James Watrous Gallery (in the Overture Center for the Arts, 201 State Street) to take a guided tour of “The Fine Art of Children’s Book Illustration” exhibit. The focus of the tour will be on how authors and illustrators come up with ideas.
Participants will then return to Madison Children’s Museum and draw up on inspiration from the exhibit to create their own unique 3D diorama to tell a story. There will be a variety of materials on hand to create the dioramas.
There is a $5 per child fee for participation and children must be accompanied by an adult. This program is recommended for children ages 5 and up.
A maximum of 25 children can participate, so pre-registration is highly recommended. For additional information or to register, call McKenzie Glynn at (608) 256-6445 (extention 18)
