Become the smartest kid in your class! Join us for the de Young's series of free after-school classes for children in 1st through 8th grades. Art after School offers an in-depth exploration of world cultures through the museum's extensive collections of art from Africa, Mesoamerica, Oceania, and North America. Through careful observation and engaging art activities, these classes explore the connections between the visual arts, language arts, and social studies.
Classes are free; reservations required. Classes meet twice. Wednesdays, 4:00–5:30 p.m. The Art after School program is based on the de Young's Get Smart with Art curriculum materials.
