Dive into the colorful world of art with our 4-week library program where creativity and Minecraft Education collide! This interactive series invites children to explore the works of four influential artists through engaging Minecraft projects. Each week, participants will uncover the stories and styles of a different artist and bring their masterpieces to life in the blocky, digital realm of Minecraft.
Week 1: Michelangelo’s Masterpieces Explore the grandeur of Michelangelo’s art as we recreate his iconic sculptures and paintings. From the Sistine Chapel ceiling to the David statue, children will use Minecraft to craft detailed representations and learn about Michelangelo’s techniques and impact on Renaissance art.
