Metallic and colored paint markers put the focus on line, natural forms and pattern in this all-ages ceramic-tile activity, inspired by the museum’s exhibition from the Chrysler Museum of Art.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Saturday, November 21, 2026, 11:00 am–4:00 pm. Drop-In Art generally takes place every third Saturday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm; this edition is listed individually.
Art Nouveau’s decorative language spans more than one kind of object. At this OKCMOA session, visitors can work with metallic and colored paint markers on a ceramic tile, using the flowing lines, natural forms and intricate patterns found in the concurrent exhibition as a prompt.
The activity centers on decorating an everyday object: a ceramic tile. Paint markers in metallic and colored finishes are the announced materials, and the design invitation comes from Art Nouveau’s flowing lines, forms drawn from nature and elaborate patterns. The museum describes the project as come-and-go, so visitors can arrive during the session rather than plan around a single start time.
The listing does not prescribe a particular image or finished design. That leaves room to look for a pattern or form that catches your attention in the galleries and interpret it on the tile, rather than follow a stated template. The session is suitable for all ages; children must remain with an adult.

The prompt connects to The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art, on view at OKCMOA from Oct. 31, 2026, through Jan. 24, 2027. The exhibition brings together 127 works from the Chrysler Museum, including paintings, prints, jewelry and furniture. Seeing the movement across these different media gives visitors several points of reference for the tile’s attention to ornament and natural forms.
Five thematic sections structure the exhibition: Japonisme; Siegfried Bing and the Maison de l’Art Nouveau; École de Nancy; The Triumph of Nature; and From Nouveau to Deco: The Triumph of Industry. Louis Comfort Tiffany, Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha and Aubrey Beardsley are among the featured artists. The collection draws primarily on gifts from Walter P. and Jean Chrysler; the exhibition notes that their homes once served as showrooms for these works.

OKCMOA describes Drop-In Art as an exhibition-related program generally held on third Saturdays, but the activity listings name distinct projects on other dates too. The tile session is listed for Nov. 21; it should not be taken as a promise that the same project repeats at every later Drop-In Art.
Upcoming listings give a sense of how the format changes with the prompt: Art Nouveau Initial Gift Tags on Dec. 5, Santa, hot cocoa and Art Nouveau-inspired frames on Dec. 12, Wearable Nature: Art Nouveau Charms on Dec. 19, and Art Nouveau Metal Embossing on Jan. 16, 2027. Those are separate activities, not additional parts of the tile session.
