The Mississippi Museum of Art offers free art-making resources for all ages! Our Education Activities are everyday projects for all ages, with step-by-step guides and pictures, and are available in a downloadable pdf format.
Featured Activity
Inspired by our special exhibition Joe Overstreet: Taking Flight, these resources dive into Overstreet’s world of bold and dynamic artworks. Explore positive and negative space through a Notan activity, design your own mandala inspired by Overstreet’s Mandala works, and discover the geometry in creating and deconstructing an origami bird.
