Toddler Thursdays at the High Museum of Art

On Thursdays, children ages 2-5 can explore a piece of artwork and then create their own masterpiece inspired by the artwork. There is no registration required for the drop-in event that runs from 11:00-3:00 p.m. The program is included in the admission price, which is $18 for adults, $11 for kids 6-17, and free for kids under five.

Here is the description for this week's project:

How does artist David C. Driskell create such wildly
vibrant works of art? Learn about mono-printmaking
today, by using tempera paint on plexi-glass and pulling
several special works of art to share. Express yourself
through color and bring your own wildness to paper!
