Mini Art Lesson  Tuesday, April 7, 2020We’re taking inspiration from one of our favorite artworks, Winter Scene in Brooklyn by Francis Guy, in today’s Mini Art Lesson!⁠ Say, sing, or shout the sounds in the painting with ages 2–6 or create your own street scene from outside your window using cardboard and markers. Feel free to adapt and shift the activities in a way that will best fit your family!⁠ FOR AGES 2–6:  LET’S PLAYParents and caregivers can lead this one! Look at this artwork and ask: What does this artwork sound like? Make a list of all the sounds. Then, say, sing, or shout the sounds together. Take it further by singing a simple song as you discover a different animal in the painting! For example, here’s a song by Museum Educator Tayler Milburn:FOR AGES 7+: LET’S CREATEFrancis Guy made this artwork by painting what he saw outside his window. What do you see from your window?Use markers and cardboard to draw buildings, trees, benches, and other items on your street.
