| Description: |
The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh partners with the Andy
Warhol Museum to create The Art of Andy Warhol, a unique,
interactive exhibit featuring original Warhol silkscreen prints
and a working silkscreen studio.
In this exhibit, visitors experience the silk screen process
from beginning to end. After designing an original image out
of newsprint, young artists take their images to the silkscreen
bed, place them under the screen and assist staff in spreading
the ink across the screen with a squeegee. The screen is then
lifted and the original piece of art is complete.
The artwork includes Warhol's Myth Series, prints of fantasy
characters from his childhood, and Toy paintings, based on
his passion for collecting toys. Other activities include
costumes inspired by the Myth Series characters, a reading
area with books on Andy Warhol and art, and original tin toys
from Warhol's collection. The exhibition includes a comprehensive
education manual with enriching lesson plans and resources.

| Description: |
Chagall for Children focuses on
the works of Marc Chagall. This pioneering exhibit is a unique
approach to introducing children to art through the life and
work of a master artist, helping children and adults alike
develop a greater understanding and appreciation of all forms
of artistic expression. The exhibit is designed to engage
visitors in the exploration of both art and the artist through
15 interactive, multi-sensory components. Each component features
one of Chagall’s works with an accompanying hands-on
activity in a variety of media that encourages the visitor
to explore and work with specific art principals such as color,
composition, light and texture. Many stations are accompanied
with audio descriptions, highlighting information about the
artwork upon which the interactive is based. An extensive
selection of books about the artist is provided to encourage
further exploration and to stimulate literacy learning. Each
venue receives educational and marketing materials.
Chagall for Children was developed
by the Kohl Children’s Museum and premiered in July 1996
in Wilmette, IL. In 1998 the exhibit was adapted to travel
and has since visited ten other institutions across the country.
Responding to continuous requests and interest, the exhibit
has been completely rebuilt and upgraded. The tour beginning
January 2006 features a completely rebuilt exhibit.

Jump to Japan: Discovering Culture through
Popular Art reflects the complexity of Japan, where ancient
Buddhist temples watch over the shinkasen (bullet train)
as it speeds between cities, and where a tiny space between
tall buildings on a crowded city street can be the perfect
place for a calming water garden.
This exhibit invites visitors to discover
aspects of Japanese culture by introducing them to people,
things, situations and stories depicted in works of Japanese
art. At the heart of the exhibit are environments and activities
that present a broad depiction of Japan — traditional
and contemporary, urban and rural, past and present, fantastic
and realistic.
Jump to Japan: Discovering Culture through
Popular Art consists of three main activity areas, each
based on a work of art, artistic form or tradition. The focus
areas are:
- Fantastic Animation,
featuring film animation
- Manga Mania, organized
around manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese
animation)
- Artful Traditions,
based on woodblock printing and scrolls
Kids hop on the magical Cat Bus from Hayao
Miyazaki’s film My Neighbor Totoro. Visitors can
be a shopkeeper or customer in a modern manga store and create
their own manga drawings and animation. Visitors take off
their shoes and step into a traditional tatami (woven floor
covered) room for a tea party, try on kimono, yukata
or happi (traditional Japanese clothing) and play the
ancient card game karuta.

Pattern Wizardry encourages children's
inquiry into how patterns organize and enrich our lives. With
playful, open-ended activities focusing on spiral, branch,
tessellation, and linear patterns, Pattern Wizardry incorporates
beautiful and evocative artifacts and natural specimens from
the museum's collection that underscore the links between
the cultural and scientific contexts of patterns. In Pattern

- Create glowing tessellations from tiles
on a light box
- Use blocks to explore the complicated
pattern of a beaded apron from Cameroon
- Use wands to play rhythmic beats and
compose musical patterns

Pattern Wizardry is a hands-on, interactive, object-based
fantasy environment introducing children ages 5-12 to the
fundamental patterns that are the building blocks of our natural
and man-made world. This trilingual (English, Spanish, French)
exhibition supports national and elementary curriculum standards
by exploring the cultural meanings and mathematical and scientific
concepts that underlie patterns.

used by pop artists, including silkscreen printing, stamping
to make repeat patterns, and making objects using die-cutters
like Warhol's famous Brillo Boxes. In the Factory, visitors
can dress up like the characters they see in some of the Warhol
paintings, play with toys like those collected by Warhol,
and learn more about art and Andy Warhol through books and

Can a scientist be an artist? Does an artist use science?
Science & Art examines how the vastly different
fields of art and science can be beneficial to each other.
Through collaboration these two fields can produce innovative
creations that not only enhance our lives but open our minds.
In this exhibit visitors learn about five scientists who have
used science to create art and art to further science.
Science & Art is organized into five "mini"
exhibits highlighting the artworks created by the different
science artists. The displays are designed to show that while
art and science aren't always the same thing, they do have
much in common. Visitors will also experience how art can
be used to convey scientific ideas and phenomena and experience
science from a fresh point of view. Throughout each area there
will also be plenty of opportunities to experience science
and art firsthand with several hands-on interactive activities.
The Origami Laboratory features Origami sculpture work by
Robert Lang, Ph.D., one of the world's leading origami masters
with more than 500 designs catalogued and diagrammed. Lang's
work demonstrated that by using basic mathematical principals
and a few folding rules one can create complex and beautiful
3D works of art made from simple paper. Your visitors may
fold their own work of art to take home or leave for display
in the gallery's "visitor art" section.
The Elegant Worm combines biology and photography, offering
a unique window into the world of scientific research as interpreted
through art. The costars of this section are Ahna Skop, Ph.D.,
assistant professor of genetics at the University of Wisconsin
and the C. elegans worm. Dr. Skop's research is highlighted
alongside a real microscope which allows visitors to look
at live specimens and illustrates what researchers such as
Skop have learned from this creature.
Music in the Machine showcases the creations of inventor
Tristan Perich. His 1-Bit Music creation is part art, part
physics and part mathematics. 1-bit compositions are delivered
to listeners via an on/off switch, micro-chip, battery, earphone
jack and volume control all squeezed into a single plastic
CD case.
Electronic Threads features wearable computers created Leah
Buechley, assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). She uses electronics and textiles to build
soft wearable computers. An interactive display allows visitors
to select and see the different LED display patterns designed
and programmed into the fabric. An electronic workbench also
allows visitors to learn about the electrical properties of
different materials.
The Digital Canvas rounds out the exhibit with the work
of electronic artist and computer scientist Scott Snibbe.
The concept of the nano-scale is examined in his work "Three
Drops." This installation is a multimedia experience
that allows visitors to move in front of a large screen and
interact with projections of water at the macro, micro and
then nano-scale levels and allows visitors to experience how
the physical properties of water change at these three different
scales.
