YOUTH & TEEN STUDIO ART CLASSES

= ART Worcester Art Museum is putting ART back into the equation this summer! We are now offering new and innovative studio classes for youth and teens that integrate the visual arts with STEM — science, technology, engineering and math. This interdisciplinary approach engages young artists in a wholistic creative process, as they learn ways to investigate, create, problem-solve, collaborate and play. It promises to be a lively summer — from the geometry of mandalas and the kinetic energy of roller coasters to the engineering behind mammoth murals and Mac lab animations. For 129 years, WAM has worked to meet the changing needs of its creative community.

In 2017, it’s full STEAM ahead!
