March Pre-K Art Day

Art Moves Me. 

This month we will be reading “Giraffes Can’t Dance.”  Gerald the giraffe feels left out, because all of the other animals dance so well.  Will Gerald listen to his heart and dance to the beat of his own music?  Moving to the galleries we will discover how dancers were inspired by artist Sophia Jung-Am Park’s sculptures.  After the tour artists will create sculptures that will move them to dance.
