Two museums

Free day at the art museum with Lisa and Gavin

We started off by heading to the Kohls Kids Art Studio where they were doing abstract art using different mediums and tools

Weston and Oliver chose stencils and watercolors

Finn chose a mixed media of oil pastels and watercolors

This little boy is so special to me! 

Content and cute twinnies!

Gavin got to work right away, making bright and bold geometric shapes

I loved how Finley framed his art before starting. Almost like a gallery wall. 

Weston, ever the minimalist

Since we've studied several of these artists in school, the boys were really excited to be able to name them just from memory. 

Lisa laughed at Finn as he shouted "Frida Kahlo" at a portrait across the room. 

A few weeks before, the boys had gotten to make "pop art pins" with a Lichtenstein likeness, so it was cool seeing this print up close.

After the art museum, we headed to the children's museum to roundabout our day. 

This is always a favorite stop.

Can you believe it? Finn in "fancy clothes"?!

One of Oliver's favorite things at the museum is the physics exhibit.
