Fun Art for Kid’s Eyes:
A Special Look at the Museum’s Permanent Collection

Filled with a treasure trove of artifacts and artworks, the Whatcom Museum’s permanent collection is the source of a new exhibition with special appeal to children. Each school year, more than 25,000 students visit the Whatcom Museum of History & Art to participate in grade-appropriate education programs. Among those, are 60 fourth grade classes from three school districts who learn about design elements in their classrooms, then visit the Whatcom Museum to apply their learning. The artworks for this exhibition contain fun subject matter that clearly displays the basic design elements of color, line, shape, and texture in a great diversity of style and medium. Adults will enjoy it as much as children.
For more information about this exhibition, please call (360) 676-6981.
