Event Description

Images from the Past
Presented by the Oklahoma Public Archeology Network
 
Get ready to unearth a story—literally! Ancient art isn’t just something in textbooks; it's the original graphic novel of the past. In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore real imagery created by people thousands of years ago and discover what their art reveals about their lives, beliefs, and everyday moments.
 
Then it’s your turn: create your own art panel inspired by what you’ve uncovered. You’ll swap and decode each other’s creations to see what stories you accidentally (or intentionally!) told, just like archeologists do. It’s part art challenge, part mystery-solving, and totally hands‑on.
 
Come make cool art, uncover hidden meanings, and see how images—even ancient ones—still speak today.
