It's never too early to encourage artistic habits in your child!
Virtual MasterPiece Fridays start with a guided look at a work of art by a North Carolina artist to build vocabulary and observation skills. Story time with movement and song are next, followed by a hands-on art project inspired by the book! Each 4-week session will feature weekly themes: All About Me, All About Art, My Imagination, and My Natural World. Early childhood development goals are integrated throughout all activities.
