(whimsical music)
- Hi, I'm Ms. Penny, and these are the Kid Vision kids,
and we're here today to find out about art.
- Well, we're so happy that you're here today.
Welcome to the Boca Raton Museum of Art.
My name is Mrs. Clum, and, today,
we're gonna be looking at different artwork.
We're in a museum, and so, a museum is
a collection of interesting things.
And, here at the museum, we'll be looking at sculptures,
and paintings, and drawings and other fun things.
- And how should we behave when we're in the museum?
- Well, it's just like being in school,
so we walk together, we use our inside voices.
No running around, but one of the most important things
to do is remember not to touch the artwork.
- Okay, we can do that right? Thumbs up?
Yes! We're ready.
- Alright, super. Let's go and have some fun.
(popping sound)
This is Mr. Glickman, and he's going to tell us
about some of the art here.
- So, here we are at a realistic painting.
Can everybody say realistic?
- [Penny And The Kids] Realistic.
- Great, does anybody know what that means?
No? Well, it has the word real in it.
So, when we look at real things,
like a bird, is a bird real?
- Yes.
- Is a house real? - Yes.
- And what do we see in this painting?
- A truck. - Is this real?
- [Penny And The Kids] Yes.
- Yes, so this is a realistic painting.
It's by the artist, Ralph Goings,
and he gave it the title Morgan Semi Rig.
- It almost looks like a photograph. Doesn't it?
It's hard to believe it's a painting.
I guess, that's why it's realistic. It looks real.
- That's right, it looks very real. That's correct.
Can we close our eyes and think
of what sounds the truck might make?
- (mimics car engine) - Nice sounds.
- [Penny] We have some good sounds here.
- [Luis] What do you think the horn sounds like?
(car horn) - Beep beep!
- Okay, great. And where is this truck?
- It's parked outside, blocking the way.
- How do you know it's outside?
- Because I see trees and sky and clouds.
- [Luis] And do you see the roadway that it's parked on?
- Yes! - Okay, great.
- Well, great. So this is one type of realistic art.
Do we have other examples?
- Yes, we do, so what we're gonna do now,
let's fasten our seatbelts.
Everybody, fasten their seatbelts.
(seatbelt clicks)
Let's take hold of our steering wheels, and let's go.
- We're driving (imitates engine sounds)
Where are we going?
(splash and pop)
- We've taken our drive over from the truck
that we looked at, and we parked ourselves,
and here we are at the sea by the artist, John Marin,
and it's called Sea and Boat Number One.
Can someone tell us what this realistic painting has in it?
- A boat.
- That's a boat. - And water!
- Is it a bright and sunny day?
- No! - No, what kind of day?
- A windy day!
- It's a windy day, how can you tell?
- Because in the clouds are different.
- The clouds are different? What about the ocean?
The water, what is it? - It's looking very wavy.
- It's looking very wavy.
- And if we were on that boat, how would we look right now?
What would be happening to us?
- How would your body be moving if you were on that boat?
Uh oh, you have to get your sea legs,
and you have to balance yourself.
So you can stay on the water.
Well, it's nice to see you again.
- I'm glad to join in on the fun.
Here, we have another realistic painting.
Who are these people?
- Twins. - They're maybe twins.
- Or sisters. - Or sisters.
Very good. This is what you'd call a portrait.
A portrait is a painting or a picture of people.
It can be one person, or here we have...
- Two! - Two people here.
And you are right that they are sisters,
because on the label you can see that it's called Sisters.
- [Penny] What are they doing to their hair?
- Braiding it. - They're braiding it.
- So I want you to take a closer look
at the way in which they are posing themselves.
When you are in a pose, you have
your body in a certain position.
So, what I'd like for you to do is to try
to recreate this pose that you see right here.
Well, now we're going to look
at a different type of portrait.
We're going to look at this. It's a sculpture.
So this has three dimensions to it. So it has form.
A painting is flat, and a sculpture has form to it.
- What does the sign say? The sign will give us a clue.
- The two sisters.
- The two sisters. So what do you think those are?
- Sisters. - They're sisters.
- So we were looking at a painting of two sisters,
and now we're looking at a sculpture.
- [Penny] And it looks like it's a windy day.
- [Claire] They're fixing their hair.
They're holding on to each other,
and, so, they are being blown by the wind.
- So if you were gonna strike a pose,
and it's a windy day, how would you stand on a windy day?
Start walking, it's a really windy day oh no!
Hold on!
We're a sculpture of a windy day!
We did it. Great!
Can we see some more sculptures?
- Yes, let's take that windy ride
over around the corner to look at some sculptures.
So, come on, let's fly!
(wind blowing)
(upbeat music)
- Well now we're going to look at some abstract art.
Do you know what abstract art is?
It's something from your imagination
where you use lines and colors.
It's nothing that's realistic.
So, right now, we're in a gallery full of abstract art.
- Wonderful, so abstracts have a lot of shapes and lines,
but they don't really have to look like anything.
They're just art, beautiful creative art.
So, let's find pieces of abstract art
that has your favorite shape in it.
(popping sounds)
Which shape do you see?
Triangles.
What shape do you see?
Squares.
What shape do you see?
Circle.
- So now that we've looked at some abstract art,
up in the museum galleries, we're going to create
some of our own abstract art.
It just comes out of your imagination.
It's colors and lines and shapes.
I'd like you all to pick up your pencil,
and I want you to draw just like we see here.
They don't have to be exactly like this;
they can be anywhere you want on the paper.
And we're gonna start coloring them in.
We can outline the shapes if we like the lines.
We can use dots; we can use little circles to make
different patterns in different colors on the papers.
So you ready?
- Yes. - Let's go.
(upbeat music)
- [All] Bye!
