Programs
Kohl’s Art Generation comprises educational programs which seek not only to inform kids about art and its value, but also to involve them in hands-on, creative art experiences that whet their appetites for more. Read below for more information on Kohl’s Art Generation programs at the Milwaukee Art Museum and in the community.
Kohl’s Education Center
Kohl’s Art Generation Gallery
Open during Museum Hours.
Discover how paintings, sculptures, and other works of art have played a role in animated movies such as Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, DreamWorks’ Madagascar, Universal Studios’ The Tales of Despereaux, and more. Learn how animation artists develop their characters and get them to move, and try your hand at stop motion animation.
Kohl’s Art Generation Lab
Open during Museum Hours.
Explore what happens behind the scenes at the Museum! X-ray a painting, change the frames on works of art, ask the Museum curators about their work, the exhibitions—and more. This interactive experience combines high-tech activities with low-tech ones for an inside look at the way museums work.
Kohl’s Art Generation Studio
Saturdays & Sundays, 10 am–4 pm
The studio is the place to engage in ever-changing hands-on art projects and create something all your own to take home. Each month features a different theme, and the projects change weekly; find your inspiration from the artworks in the Museum’s Collection and exhibitions.
Programs @ the Milwaukee Art Museum
