Teen Workshop: Indigenous Abstraction: Faces and Patterns through Clay

Working with visual motifs shown in the exhibition, “Past Forward: Native American Art from Gilcrease Museum”, students will explore the connection between abstraction and wisdom across generations of Indigenous art. Using clay, beads, and paint, students will think about concepts of their own personal identity, pattern, and place in their community to create small abstract portraits with clay.

Following the workshop, teens and families will be invited for complimentary admission to the exhibit “Past Forward: Native American Art from Gilcrease Museum.”

No charge; reservations required
