Did you know that DaVinci only painted about 30 pictures? That Donatello is not a Ninja Turtle in real life? That the Dutch Masters painted pictures in such in- credible detail they looked like photographs? Welcome to Art Escape, the Children’s Museum at La Habra’s Summer 2011 changing gallery exhibit. Learn incredible information about art, interesting facts about artists, cool and unusual art techniques, and ancient-to-new art history, and maybe create some fantastic art for yourself in the “Hands-On-Art” area.
