Learn about conceptual art by exploring colorful and exciting works by American artist  Sol LeWitt (1928–2007), who suggested that the artist's idea—not the actual object itself— is the true work of art. In this experimental and collaborative workshop, participants  will create drawings based on written instructions. Family Workshops are designed for children and adults to participate in together.  Taught by artists and museum educators, each two-hour workshop includes an interactive  tour in the galleries followed by a hands-on studio session. All workshops begin in the  Education Studio, located on the East Building Concourse. Workshops are free but preregistration is required. Registration for all fall workshops begins at noon on  Wednesday, September 12. www.nga.gov/programs/family Sol LeWitt, Wavy Brushstrokes (detail), 1996, National Gallery of Art, Washington,  Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection For more information call (202) 789-3030 or e-mail family@nga.gov National Gallery of Art 6th Street & Constitution Avenue NW Washington, DC 20565 | Map Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 11am-6pm Admission is always free www.nga.gov
