We are excited about presenting Rembrandt and his world in mid-March!
Join us in celebrating the 400th anniversary of the Dutch settlement of New York, a testament to the adventuresome and progressive spirit that also nurtured Rembrandt's life and work.
LIAISONS: Please watch your emails for information concerning new procedures at RAC.
DOCENTS: We are hoping to get some feedback from your classroom presentations on Calder and Miro. Let us know, via this blog, what did and didn't work; and send us your ideas and suggestions. Since this program is a team effort of docents, teachers, students, and coordinators, we would like to hear from all quarters about Famous Artists experiences!

Osborn Kindergarten Class
The children looked at one work of art by each artist, Alexander (Sandy) Calder and Joan Miro, and shared their ideas about the paintings. Then the mom/facilitator read them "Sandy's Circus" -- a story about Calder, his wire circus animals and his invention of the mobile. Afterwards the children made a mobile together.
Each child had the opportunity to pick his/her own animal stencil, draw it, cut it out, and decorate it. Now, the mobile is hanging in the classroom. Many of the children wanted to bring home duplicate cut-outs of the animal they chose. They did an amazing job and were all very excited about the project.
