Explore a different era of art history each day this winter break. Make your own art as you recreate famous works and practice techniques pioneered by important artists, all while learning how art informs our understanding of history.

Today's theme is Dadaism and Surrealism, two movements that responded to the chaos of World War I. The world felt less rational than it had before, and artists leaned into the abstract and bizarre, taking inspiration from dreams and ordinary objects. These two styles included not just painting, but performance, poetry, and more. After today's Art History Club, you'll find yourself asking: 'What makes art, art?'

Ages 9-12. Fee: $32 (resident) / $40 (non-resident).
