Wellin Kids: Grades K-2
"Gyotaku" Fish Prints!
Drop in to explore art and make a creative project as a family. Wellin Kids programs draw inspiration from original works of art and provide an opportunity to experiment. This week, we will create our own gyotaku fish print scenes, inspired by Alexa Hatanaka's sculpture Koinobori (eggs in the belly).
The first hour (2–3 p.m.) is recommended for children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade and the second hour (3:30–4:30 p.m.) is recommended for children in 3rd through 5th grade.
Admission is free. This interactive program is intended for children with their parents/caregivers. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Visitors must sign in and leave the museum between sessions to allow us to reset the program. Due to limited space, children may only attend one session per date. Families with children in both age ranges may choose the time frame that works best for their family.
