Renoir’s Hands
Your preschooler has been granted V.I.P. access! Each Doodlebugs art class this spring features a VERY INVENTIVE PAINTER: a well-known artist whose creative ingenuity changed the world. Every class session, held via Zoom, starts with a story and ends with imagination & creation! All ages are welcome, but book selection is ideal for ages 4-7. *Check the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art’s social media or www.CRMA.org for a list of materials you’ll need if you’d like to create along with us.
Renoir suffered from arthritis in his hands later in life, so on his birthday today, we’ll see what it’s like to create a portrait using his unique method of holding a paintbrush*.
*Supplies: Heavy paper or cardstock, paint (Miss Erin will be using tempera), a palette or plate, paintbrush, water cup, paper towels or rags for cleaning, masking tape (or similar low-tack tape)
