NGAkids features adventures with works of art in the Gallery's collections. Some activities focus on one work of art, detailing the content and context of its creation. Others provide high-quality images so you can zoom in and make your own observations. Stroll along with an animated musical tale as Lizzy and Gordon Visit the Sculpture Garden.
The Art Zone is the place to try your hand at various art activities in a virtual studio. Develop a collage using color, shape, images and more... each element may be changed in size and adjusted for transparency. PixelFace is portraiture with dots and brushstrokes- try various colors and placements to create images. 3-d Twirler, Diamonds, Cubits and other interactive activities allow you to manipulate shapes and observation can inform the creation of drawings and patterns that include 3-dimentional elements.
Family guides are available as well as extensive resources for planning your visit to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
