Autism & the Arts
- Autism & the Arts is an after school program of monthly art
workshops meeting in NCMA's children's art studio. The program
is designed to inspire creativity and motivate communication in
children with autism. Autism & the Arts was launched in 2007
through collaboration between NCMA and the North Shore Autism
Circle.
- Workshops are led by a special needs educator who
encourages students with autism to express themselves
through painting, drawing, and sculpture. Through innovative
exploration, children develop their own artistic style and
voice while they communicate through words, imagery and
movement.
- A portion of each class is devoted to viewing works of
art in NCMA's collection as well as reproductions of artwork
by modern masters such as Pablo Picasso and Joan Mir. These
images become a springboard for communication, promoting
discussions on art, the expression of ideas and inspiration
for the workshop activities.
