Come to Lil’ Studio for a joyful session of art, music, reading and play!

We’ll begin by looking at Harlem Is a Myth by Christopher Myers. This wall-mounted, metal-based installation is on view in the Education Workshop. 

We’ll look closely at the installation and discuss his use of imagination and hybrid figures. 

Next, we’ll make our own hybrid figures with a range of photos and shiny materials. We’ll conclude by singing songs and reading the book, Wings by Christopher Myers.

Accessibility

• Interactivity Level: Moderate. Visitors are welcome to engage in call and response, singing, artmaking, movement and mindfulness activities, but participation is completely voluntary.

• Format: We begin by singing our welcome song and learning two new vocabulary words. We then look at an artwork that is connected to these two words. Next, we make art that is inspired by our vocabulary words and the themes and materials of the artwork. Afterwards we share our artwork with the group and gather to read a story. The book we read will also be related to our vocabulary words and the art we saw and made. We conclude by singing our goodbye song. There are songs, movement and mindfulness activities throughout, especially during transitions.
