Description
Join us on February 28 for Super Saturday: Paper Portraits, a hands-on family workshop celebrating Black History Month. Inspired by a striking work from Memphis artist Carl Moore in the museum’s Permanent Collection, this activity invites children to explore identity, representation, and color through collage.
Using scissors, glue, and vibrant sheets of colored paper, young artists will layer shapes to create expressive portraits of themselves, friends, or imagined figures—mirroring the clean lines and bold color choices found in Moore’s artwork. This project encourages kids to reflect on the beauty and diversity of their own communities.
Ideal for ages 5–12. All materials provided.
Registration is required. Space is limited—reserve your spot early!
Major annual support for Museum Education is provided by the Windgate Foundation, City of Memphis, First Horizon Foundation, Tennessee Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, ARTSmemphis, and the Urban Child Institute.
