Art Exhibitions at LICM

KaleidoZone Gallery

Dedicated to de Kooning
May 8 through June 5, 2013

The works in this exhibit were created by young artists from neighborhoods across Long Island. Workshop participants were invited to join museum educators in a hands-on exploration of the abstract artist Willem de Kooning.

Works featured in this exhibit were created in two abstract painting series that encouraged participants to explore the process and techniques that Willem de Kooning used to produce his artwork. By introducing children to the life and work of Willem de Kooning, the Long Island Children's Museum seeks to stimulate a real and personal connection to abstract art in our visitors.

During the "Line Design with de Kooning" series, the conversation and resulting art focused on line and movement as design elements. During the workshop, children learned techniques for creating different types of lines to convey feelings. The second workshop series, "Feeling Color with de Kooning," encouraged children to consider the role color plays in expressing mood and thought as they used different mediums and shapes to convey their feelings.

The abstract painting workshops and this exhibit were made possible through the generous support of The Willem de Kooning Foundation.
