Home school students travel through the galleries looking and learning about texture, line, and pattern. Then, in the studios, they learn about printmaking, specifically monotypes and apply what they saw and learned about in the galleries to create their own unique monotypes. This program is designed especially for home-school children (ages 4 and up) and their parents.

Joan Jonas is a performance artist who uses video, sculpture and dance to define space. The exploration of video as a hybrid art form, in combination with dance, music, and performance art, has been integral to its development. Jonas integrates live video into her performances to add another time frame to her work and to direct the attention of the audience. 20 minutes.

This special Baker & Baker Art of Music program features music by pianist and composer Haskell Small from Washington, D.C. Small incorporates Rothko's idea that 'tragedy, ecstasy, and doom are the only important things in art' into his music. Small says, "In this piece, I'm trying to play so quietly as to be on the very cusp of audibility, but there are occasional outbursts paralleling Rothko's passionate nature." Small presented the world premiere of The Rothko Room: Journey in Silence in February 2011 at The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. He is a Steinway artist who performs original compositions, classical and contemporary works. He is the piano department chair of the Washington Conservatory of Music in Bethesda, Maryland.
