Gallery Investigations + Studio

• In the galleries, investigate a work of art by looking carefully, uncovering details, and thinking about the cool stuff you discover. Talk with an MFAH educator and use hands-on materials as you explore.
• In the studio, create a project inspired by the work of art being investigated that day. Art-making sessions take place in two locations: Southwestern Bell Studio and Farish Classroom, both located on the lower level of the Beck Building.
