The I Love Art Gallery helps you learn about the elements of art through hands-on activities.
I Love Art Gallery
Diamond Head Gallery, Second Floor
Ongoing - Gallery is modified for each new exhibition
An interactive educational gallery that promotes the understanding and appreciation of the arts, and encourages the public to increase their own awareness of the place and significance of art in their own lives.
The gallery allows visitors of all ages to learn together in a refreshing and informal setting. It focuses on the vocabulary and structure of art-making through the elements and principles of art and design (such as line, shape, form, space, and texture); ties information to objects currently on view in our galleries; and provides hands-on activities to experience art materials. Participants are encouraged to learn about art as artists do – by touching, observing, exploring, thinking, and reading.
We encourage you to explore the gallery to share insights and ideas, become familiar with the language of art, and see for yourself how it builds and shapes the works in our galleries.
