Storytime: My First Word

What was your little one’s first word? What was yours? Join us to explore the words of childhood through a close look at the artwork Untitled (O Small Small Head) by artist Jessica Diamond, and a read aloud of The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds. Following the story, young artists can play with words and make their own works of art!  

Meet in the Museum Lobby.

Do this at home! Repurpose old comics into works of art inspired by artist Tony Lewis. Instructions here.

Four comic strips of various sizes overlap, all of the details have been covered with various materials.
