Virtual Visits

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the Brooks is currently only offering virtual group visits via Zoom and Teams.  Classes are 40 minutes in length and are available Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 2:00 PM.  All virtual visits must be booked a minimum of two weeks in advance and require at least 10 participants.  This is a free program open to all ages and types of groups.    

Virtual group visits can include an optional art making activity.  Please note that if you choose to include art making in the program only basic supplies are needed such as paper, crayons, glue, and scissors.  It is the responsibility of the participants to provide their own supplies. 

We are currently offering the following virtual group visit choices:

  • Arts of Global Africa- Explore the rich creative output of Africa by examining both historical and contemporary artwork from across the continent.  Learn how to create a weaving inspired by West African textile making.  Art supplies: colorful paper, scissors, rulers, pencils, crayons/markers

  • Narrative in Art- Use art to explore English Language Arts skills such as story structure, character and setting, and descriptive writing.  Participants will write poetry and create a comic strip. Art supplies: paper, pencils, crayons/markers

  • STEAM- Use art as a jumping off point to explore concepts of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Art supplies: paper, pencils, crayons

  • Portraiture-Examine the portraits of the Brooks collection to learn how this art form has changed over time.  Use our collection as inspiration for creating your own portrait. Art supplies: paper, pencils, crayons/colored pencils.
