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.

Today we’ll celebrate the birthday of Samuel Morse, portrait artist and creator of Morse Code. We’ll turn his basic dot-and-dash code into a cool work of art.

*Supplies: You can use almost any mark-making art supplies for this project! Paint, crayons, markers, pencils, etc. Just be sure you have some paper or some other surface to mark on; Miss Erin will show you a version on black cardstock using colorful gel pens, and another on fuchsia scrapbook paper using chalk pastels.
