Staying in the Art Zone this Summer by Amie Shorter (Art teacher)


It's never to early or late to start planning your summer adventures.  If you have the pleasure of traveling, scout out the local museums and the upcoming exhibits as well as the special events they plan in the summer just for families.  If you are planning a "stay-cation", we live in one of the most diverse cities that have so many fine arts opportunities just a brief car ride away.  I know that money can be a concern because some exhibits can be expensive, but If you  plan ahead and do your research you will find that many of our local museums have discounted or even free days all summer long.  If your child/children want more - the Glassell school of Art has classes for ages 3-18, it is associated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.  Another great source for some artistic enrichment is the National Gallery of Art, this website has great images, history, artists biographies and activities.  http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/zone.htm
