Célia Kogut, Mezzanine en trompe l'oeil (détail), 2009 Make art that deceives the eye in honor of April Fools Day! Artists such as Liu Bolin , Neil Gall , and Célia Kogut have perfected the art technique of trompe l’oeil to ‘fool’ viewers into believing that a three-dimensional artwork actually exists on a flat plane. Children will draw inspiration from these artists such as as they play with illusion and perspective to create works that are not quite what they seem. About Open Studio Open Studio at Pier 57 invites children to explore hands-on projects across a wide range of artistic disciplines. Each session introduces children to the elements and principles of art while surveying artists across generations and continents. Specially designed for children on the Autism Spectrum but welcoming to all, each session is multisensory focused. Participants will explore art materials (such as clay, paper, or textiles) at their own pace alongside movement breaks and ample time for storytelling and social interaction. Open Studio is recommended for ages 12 & under. What To Expect This activity takes place in the Community Classrooms at Pier 57, located just beyond the food hall. The program’s curriculum is rooted in accessible artmaking practices and Children’s Museum of the Arts’ pedagogy of Look, Make, Share. Take a peek at one of our virtual Inclusives lessons, catered to children with Autism, that families can try at home: here ! Please be advised this is not a dropoff session. While caregivers are welcome to stay with their children, families are encouraged to enjoy the extraordinary setting of Pier 57 in the adjacent Family Living Room for the duration of the session. Caregivers are advised to remain on the premises while children are working. Image Credit: Liu Bolin, Soft drinks , 2012. Courtesy of Danysz Gallery, Paris/Shanghai.

Nanette Carter Artist & Professor Pratt Institute Nanette Carter was born in Columbus, Ohio, 1954, is an American mixed media artist who works, primarily, with oils on frosted Mylar – which is a thin sheet of plastic. She considers herself to be a “Scapeologist” a term invented for herself. Her abstractions make allusion to different “scapes”: land, sea, sky, under water and outer space paying homage to the mysteries of nature and human nature. She describes herself as a “chronicler of our time” turned the “reality” in to an abstract form, line, color and texture. Her work has been featured recently at Gallery Ami Kanoko, Osaka, Japan; National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana, Cuba and Alessandro Berni Gallery, Perugia, Italy. Most recently, Nanette Carter’s work was exhibited in “Cut: Abstraction in the United States from the 1970s to the Present” at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Miami, FL. She has been awarded several grants including The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, The Jerome Foundation and New York Foundation for the Arts. Carter currently works and lives in New York City, where she is a tenured Associate Adjunct Professor of art at Pratt Institute. Donate Now Since 1988
