FAMILY ART AT MOBILE MUSEUM OF ART "UNDER THE SEA"

Families can have an expressive, artistic experience together at Family Art on Thursdays (Oct. 16, Nov. 20 and Dec. 18) from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Mobile Museum of Art. The cost of each class is $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Monthly themes include:

Oct. 16: Galaxy in a Box, inspired by the Glow Room 

Each family creates a miniature galaxy inside a shadow box or recycled cardboard box using a mix of painting, crafting and glow-in-the-dark elements. Design planets, stars, comets and even alien life using different textures and materials. The project ends with a “blackout viewing” under UV or low lighting to reveal it.

Nov. 20: Under the Sea, inspired by the Sea Room 

This class invites families to explore the colors, textures and mystery of the ocean through hands-on art-making. Craft sea life scenes using paint, mixed media and imagination together.

Dec. 18: Touch & Bloom, inspired by the Orange Room 

In this hands-on workshop, families will use colorful, touchable materials to create 3D garden scenes. This is a playful, sensory-friendly art class where everyone can create and explore.
