Kids and Family
KNMA seeks to generate spaces where children and their families can explore art together through hands on activities, gallery trails and story telling sessions. The Museum aspires to become a locus for such activities where parents can bring their children on weekends or after school for educational yet fun filled excursions.
The workshops include interactive programs for kids of all ages to participate. Children are encouraged through the sessions to get an initiation into the world of art through stimulating conversations, performances, art making and demonstrations. Kids encounter and get introduced to the world through stories on art history and by seeing varied art works ranging from historical to modern and contemporary art.
Programs include various ways of looking at the artwork, through a sensorial inquiry where they are asked to describe the work of art and the affect that the works create. Another way of contemplating is through the imagination by making up characters, themes and stories. Children engage in dialogues and sharing their views among their peers.
