Events › Power Up Afternoons: Puddle Paintings Inspired by Helen Frankenthaler

Celebrate Women's History Month by learning about women artists and exploring different ways of making art. Helen Frankenthaler was an abstract painter who liked to break the rules. She is known for her soak stain painting technique, in which she poured paint directly onto canvas laid on the floor. Try painting like Helen and experiment with your own ideas during this exploratory painting activity.

This drop-in weekly activity is intended for school-aged youth as part of Power Up Afternoons. During Power Up Afternoons, school-aged youth can focus on homework, join a hands-on program to rejuvenate after the school day or enjoy learning from a programming expert.
