Took my two kids to the Corcoran today to see Chris Martin's 'Painting Big'


The Corcoran had a class for families and children ages 5-7 this morning and it was amazing!!! If you ever get a chance to take your kids to their family/child programs there, please do so! Children got to see and talk about Chris Martin's paintings in which he embeds lots of things and images that are meaningful to him. For this class, kids were asked to bring in their own images or items meaningful to them in order to later embed them into their own personal paintings. Nora took images of ballerinas and princesses along with lots of sticker gems. Luke took images of all his favorite scientists and some flat legos. I will post the pictures of their works later but have decided to absolutely do the same project with my Murch students. I love living in DC!! There is never a dull weekend.

Click here to read about the show. I was told that next week they will post all new programming for their winter family events. So check them out!

If there are any families out there who would like to go to these museum events regularly maybe we can form a group. Email me if interested at Miriam.Cutelis@yahoo.com.
