The Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art (RAFFMA) at Cal State San Bernardino hosted its 19th annual two-day summer workshop, “Kids Discover Egypt,” for children ages 9-12.RAFFMA offered two workshops, with the first session on July 16-17, and the second on July 18-19. A total of 44 children participated.During the workshops, participants explored the rich history and culture of Ancient Egypt. Students got hands-on experiences by creating various art projects and learning the science beyond Egyptology with a mock-archaeological dig. Participants also partook in a scavenger hunt and received a special tour of RAFFMA’s collection.“They learn about Ancient Egypt from different standpoints — from the archaeological standpoint, they had a tour of the exhibition, and now they are making their own artwork that are inspired by the pieces in the collection,” said Emily Sack, RAFFMA education and collection assistant, during a painting activity.The participants were also given workbooks that contain information about Ancient Egypt, activities such as Mad Libs and word searches, and places to sketch out their ideas.“I think the workshop’s great for kids because it has so many different types of activities,” said Sack. “There are the three-dimensional art projects, the two-dimensional projects … it keeps them moving, it keeps them thinking, and it’s a good thing to do during the summer where it is educational, but maybe doesn’t feel like school.”At the end of the second day, participants received a “Junior Egyptologist” certificate for all their hard work.About RAFFMAThe Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art is a nationally recognized museum accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
