Get ready to explore the color blue with Art Detectives this April! We’ll read a book that shows how artists discovered and used blue throughout history. Then we’ll explore the exhibition From Cobalt to Indigo: The Power of Blue in East Asia to see how East Asian artists use blue in their creations. After our gallery adventure, we’ll make our own brilliant blue artwork to take home.

Please note that this event will not be livestreamed or posted on YouTube.
