Artist Kathy Holland to Teach Young Artists at Children's Museum
...
Children in after-school art classes will learn about how artists work and create an acrylic painting on canvas to exhibit at the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge as they study and paint with artist Kathy Holland this month.

Holland is the second artist to work with a group of 15 fourth graders from Willow Brook School's Wednesday Academy in the Willow Brook Young Artists Program at the Children's Museum, funded by a community learning grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission.
...
Holland's exhibit opens this week in Gallery II and remains there through March 9. Her students will add their work to the exhibit for the closing reception for the artist and students that will take place from 3:30 – 4:15, March 7.

Holland said she hopes to lead the children in a playful and engaging process for making pictures. She will start by learning about her students' perceptions of art and what artists do all day, and then take her students into Gallery II, showing them slides of artists and other influences on her work. The artist will talk about what's so special about art at this time in history, and how it's affected, for example, by science, technology, and space.

The children will gather sources of visual information from direct observation, studies or sketches, photographs, and other means, and look at how they can change those into something new, what Holland calls the "translating process. Assisting Holland will be Coral Juras, an artist and a teacher at Willow Brook School.
