National Gallery of Art

RJ has been asking to go to the National Gallery of Art for two months. Today was the last day for the children's program, so we went to check it out.

After looking at a specific piece of art and talking about how it was made, what materials and how it made us feel. We then listened to a story called, "ART" about a boy named art and his art. Then RJ got to make his own art. Julia wasn't old enough, but she was very patient as she watched RJ work.

Then we had a picnic lunch at the sculpture garden. Julia is licking the applesauce off her leg. Her shoe and sock are off because there was "something in it."

After lunch, we explored the sculptures.
