• The activities are based upon the different permanent fine and folk art collections, Native American art, and traveling exhibits within the art museum. Participants are introduced to the fundamentals of art such as line, shape, color and perspective while experimenting with a number of different artist mediums and styles.  The museum’s 2012 season includes the traveling exhibition, American Impressionism: Paintings of Light and Life, which the Galleries Galore participants will view and create a still-life with importance on using light and color. One afternoon the students will have a chance to explore photography with Kevin Gray and his exhibition Reclaiming Gettysburg: Kevin Gray’s Modern Tintypes. The week-long experience culminates with a special exhibition of the students’ artworks and a reception for their parents, family, and friends.
