Later, in the Walters’ studios, students will create their own work of art inspired by the art of Mesoamerica.   This event is recommended for children ages 5-12.

Explore the Walters through this workshop designed exclusively for homeschool students ages 5-12. Participants enjoy an introduction to the museum, a guided tour, studio activity and post-visit materials.
