Virtual Museum Visits
Parents are responding to our children’s art studio and materials and ideas. Our fifty-six ART TO GO individualized packets have been a success.
We know Art gives form to chaos, and Art is – as the children chant – “in our heArts!” Love Waves, as in our story – all our imaginations, are held close.
While many museums we wished to visit this spring closed unimaginable months ago – requires we now must be open to look at their websites to enrich our physical programs here at the Children’s Art Studio Norwich. Last year, TJ, Olivia, Vinnie, Jules, and Gideon shared their visits and delights, having attended “live” museum installations near and far.
I am posting initiatives that complement my interactive educational approach to advance art education for our art families. Nothing can duplicate the spirit the children and teacher share – so keeping this fact in mind, this conversation and sharing is complementary, a co-equal type of walk through the exhibits and fulfillment potentialities for our hearts.
I recommend these, coupled with Google, for you to view and describe the merits. Co-equal – a balance you define for your children.
Please know my assistants Marc Hampers (Union College) and Sophia Richard (Smith College) and I are planning several platforms to speak directly to you via my website – Miss Lani and a microphone and a camera – sharing, caring, learning!

Monet/Mitchell: Painting the French Landscape
As we patiently await planting our gardens, the children and I are studying Monet’s works of art which he called "recollections,” and Mitchell’s “remembered landscapes.”
Whether the squiggly intertwined brush strokes of Monet or the flurry of bold colorful dynamics of Mitchell”s brush strokes, they both "lift our spirits of spring!”
