Worcester Art Museum
As I start posting regularly on this blog, I am hoping to use it to build some local community, as well as the virtual community that naturally grows up around a blog. Those of you who know me and my kids know the names of my little learners, but for the purposes of this blog, they will have the following nicknames:
Super Lasso Girl(age 7) (Who has her own blog)
Jedi Knight (age 5)
Little Star (age 3, soon to be 4)
One of our favorite places to go is the Worcester Art Museum. Super Lasso Girl & Jedi Knight have just started a class there called Wild About Art. The catalog is on line here.
While her older siblings are viewing art in the museum, hearing a story and working on a new project for an hour and a half, Little Star and I wander the museum hand in hand and have long conversations about what we are looking at. When her little legs get tired we sit in a gallery on a bench and look around the room and tell each other what pictures we like and why. Having conversations with my little one about art is so much fun. When she decides that we are finished, we go back to the waiting room and pull out our library books and read until other young kids come back to wait for their artistic siblings and then she goes off to socialize. It's a lovely hour and a half.
