POETRY & PAINTING
Friday April 12th 2013 from 10am-1pm

April is Poetry Month!  For children, the benefits of reading and learning about poetry are immense.  There are an endless number of hidden benefits in exposing children to a diverse selection of poetry at an early age. What better time to explore them than National Poetry Month? Poetry celebrates the individual word, the sound of language, and the rhythm of language in a way that narrative does not. A poem can be a fun, short, tasty morsel to share with children. Introducing very young children to poetry exposes them to the sounds and rhythms of language, piquing interest in words and learning to read.  We will celebrate this art form by creating our very own one of a kind poems and paintings inspired by them.  Afterwards we will transform a poem into a special performance!  And, as always we will end our time together with an all fruit popsicle.

Cost is $40 and includes all art supplies/materials and take home project.
