Norman Rockwell Museum will offer children the opportunity to design inventive toys in a series of school vacation week workshops February 21 through 25, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Inspired by artist David Macaulay's drawings for 'The Way Things Work,' the hands-on art workshops will include interactive tours of the exhibition 'Building Books: The Art of David Macaulay.'
The classes, designed for children ages seven and up, focus on Toys that Balance (Monday), Spinners (Tuesday), Boats and Floats (Wednesday), Whirligigs (Thursday), and Weathervanes (Friday). Admission to the classes costs $6, $5 for Museum members, or $25 ($20 for Museum members) for all five classes.
On view through May 30, 2005: 'Building Books: The Art of David Macaulay'
A scintillating new exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum showcases the original drawings, paintings, and studies of best-selling author and illustrator David Macaulay. His gift for conveying complex concepts in a fun and understandable way has delighted children and adults for years. He has a special genius for explaining the wonder of the way things work-from gadgets to gargantuan buildings-and for bringing readers on extraordinary journeys of the imagination.
'Building Books: The Art of David Macaulay' is the first in-depth museum exhibition to explore the work and artistic process of this popular Rhode Island-based artist. The exhibition, on view at the Norman Rockwell Museum from November 13, 2004 through May 30, 2005, has been made possible by a generous gift from Peter and Helen Bing.
The exhibition presents a diverse range of exhibition materials, including over 100 original works of art, studies, sketchbooks, book dummies, manuscripts and correspondence, artifacts (including hand-built ship models), reference materials, travel mementos, and a video documentary about the artist, produced for the exhibition by the Museum. Macaulay's books bring together the worlds of art, history, science and fantasy and include 'The Way Things Work,' 'Unbuilding,' 'Cathedral,' 'Ship,' 'Mosque,' 'Rome Antics,' 'Angelo,' 'Black and White,' and 'Shortcut.'
