About this event

How do conservators save a painting when the paint begins to flake away? Discover the answer in this hands-on workshop for children ages 6-11 and their caregivers. Explore South Asian and Southeast Asian artworks in

The Art of Knowing , then learn how conservators keep paintings intact. Through simple experiments, investigate how liquids can travel through tiny spaces-the sam e process conservators use to guide adhesive beneath fragile paint flakes. Then create your own artwork using the same scientific principle, known as capillary action, to make colorful designs.
