Aspen Art Museum

Paper is a versatile material that allows us to make almost anything with it! The challenges this Wednesday are to explore its many possibilities to make a 2D material into a 3D object. Pulp and paper mache are options!

The Teen Curators program allows participants to gain insight into different styles of curatorial practice. In this brand-new iteration of what has become a signature AAM highlight for teens, each curator will design their own creative project with support from museum staff.

Teen Artists will meet with and learn from AAM staff, guest artists, and our creative community partners at Anderson Ranch. They will explore and build their art-making skills and present their work to the public in the spring.

Join a museum educator for a virtual tour of a current exhibition and a lively discussion sparked by the artwork on view.

Join us this Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. as we continue to work on a cover for our book sculpture. Watch our educator, Vanessa, design her cover and learn different problem-solving solutions along the way. Get inspired, gather all of your supplies, and we’ll see you Wednesday!

Teen Council meetings happen every other Tuesday from August to May. Through this program led by AAM Educator, Elisabeth Strunk, local teenagers create and implement events for their peers. The Council follows the motto, “For teens, by teens,” to make the Aspen Art Museum a fun place for youth in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Our paper sculpture is almost done, and all we need to add are the final touches! This Wednesday, we will rummage through our craft box to find what our book sculpture is “asking for,” to complete it—whether that’s color or something to tie it all together.

Now that the holidays are over, tune in Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. (MT) during the month of January to learn how to make your own thank-you cards! AAM Educator Vanessa Porras will be guiding you through a four-part series in making relief prints using gold leaf.
