2pm–4pm
Kids’ Program①
“What is art? What sort of artworks can I see? What are those grown-ups talking about?”
In the ACK Kids’ Program, participating children will be led through the ACK venue on a Guided Tour for Kids. Using the dialogical appreciation method, ACK staff will chat with participants about key works on display and help deepen their understanding. (Tour advisor: Museum educator Daiya Aida)
After the Guided Tour for Kids, artist Aiko Miyanaga will teach a workshop based on the theme, “Time and Me.” In preparation for the workshop, participating children will write a letter “to myself several years from now.” Based on these letters, they will make time capsule-like works using plaster.
