To promote reading readiness and visual literacy, preschoolers and their caregivers will explore art and ideas through activities that encourage dramatic play, music, movement, and art-making, using a work of art or item from Reynolda House Museum of American Art’s collection as a starting point. The program will take place indoors and outdoors. Advance registration is required. This opportunity is free thanks to a grant from the Shallow Ford Foundation. Single-session classes are for 3-5 year olds and a caregiver.
