Represent! A fun-filled family books and arts program at LAA

April 6th's Featured Book is Milo Imagines the World by Matt de la Peña, illustrated by Christian Robinson.

At LAA, we are all about representational art – but what exactly is representational art? What does it mean to represent something or someone artistically? And whose stories and experiences are being represented? 

Join us for a fun-filled exploration of fabulous artists whose diverse backgrounds and artistic styles bring stories to life! 

We invite elementary-aged children and their families to participate in REPRESENT! at the Lyme Art Association. Each session will feature a different artist. We will start by reading the story and talking about the artist, their background, and their style. Then we will get creative and make a fun art project inspired by the book.

This program is designed for children ages 5 through 10, although younger and older children are very welcome! No drop-offs are allowed – parents or guardians must stay and supervise their children. Art projects will be designed for both younger and older elementary-aged children.

 Cost: Program is free; suggested donation per week is $10. Registration required.
