To promote reading readiness and visual literacy, preschoolers and their caregivers will explore Reynolda through activities that encourage dramatic play, music, movement, and art-making, using a work of art or item from Reynolda’s collection as a starting point. The program will take place outside on the grounds (families are encouraged to bring a blanket upon which to sit and play) and in the Museum. Materials will be provided, and participants may walk and collect their own natural items. In the event of inclement weather, programs planned for outdoors may be held indoors. Advance registration is required.
Note: This event is Close Looking in Nature, Series 2. Dates are October 28, November 4, and November 11. This series will explore Charles Burchfield’s The Woodpecker, Jasper Francis Cropsey’s Mounts Adam and Eve, and Albert Bierstadt’s Sierra Nevada. While lessons may build on one another, families may also choose to attend single sessions. Receive a $10 discount if you register for all three sessions in a series.
