DoodleBugs

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.

This post-impressionist master had a unique technique that gave his paintings texture and movement. To celebrate Vincent’s birthday today, we’ll use some unexpected tools* to paint a “moving” portrait.

*Supplies: A spoon and fork, paint (Miss Erin will be using tempera but you can also use finger paint, acrylics if you are very careful, or any other paint with a thick texture), heavy paper or cardstock, a pencil, paintbrush, water cup, palette or plate, paper towels or old rag for cleaning brushes
