Museum of Art offers free virtual series titled 'Creative Processing for Families: Identity'
Apr. 10—RALEIGH — The North Carolina Museum of Art will host on Sunday at 2 p.m. a free virtual arts series geared toward better understanding the world.
"Creative Processing for Families: Identity" is a series for families to reflect together on big — and sometimes tough — ideas about the world and themselves through art. Workshops include guided group conversations about works of art from the NCMA collection and hands-on art-making projects, with a focus on process and exploration.
This hour-long virtual workshop explores Yayoi Kusama's "Light of Life" to start a conversation about one's sense of self and the many ways identity is experienced. Participants will have time for a guided exploration of art-making processes to create their own reflective work of art as a family.
Leading the workshop is Natalia Torres del Valle, an expressive arts psychotherapist who is passionate about helping children find meaningful ways of communicating beyond words. In addition to many years of teaching at the Museum, she has a bachelor's degree in elementary education and English as a second language education, and an master's in clinical mental health.
Interested parties can reserve a spot by clicking the ticketing link at ncartmuseum.org. The workshop is free, but space is limited. The first 30 participants can choose to receive a special kit of art materials.
