Outdoor Discovery Lesson

To promote reading readiness and visual literacy, preschoolers (ages 3-5) and their caregivers will explore the 1917 estate through activities that encourage dramatic play, music, movement, and art-making, taking a work of art or item from Reynolda’s collection as a starting point. Advance registration is required.

Outdoor Discovery Lessons will take place outside on the grounds; families are encouraged to bring a blanket upon which to sit and play. Sanitized materials will be provided per family and participants may walk and collect their own natural items.

In the event of inclement weather, the program may be held indoors; face coverings may then be required for all participants. View current COVID-19 policies.

March session will explore Charles Sheeler’s Conversation Piece in Reynolda Village. April sessions will explore Lyonel Feininger’s Rainbow II at the Boathouse. May session will explore Childe Hassam’s Giant Magnolias [CANCELED]. June sessions will explore Worthington Whittredge’s The Old Hunting Grounds in the Reynolda woods.

This program is sponsored in part by the PNC Foundation.
