Color, Pattern, and Silhouette

This program will focus on exploring the style and form of Carlo Zinelli’s artwork. Through guided discussion in the galleries, we will explore the bold colors, mesmerizing and complex patterns, and recurring silhouettes in the exhibition. In the studio, families will create their own visual responses, using a variety of media.
