Explore color during Barnetimen (Children’s Hour)! Preschoolers and their caregivers are invited to connect online with Jennifer Kovarik, Vesterheim’s Youth Educator, to explore objects and stories in the museum’s collection and make art inspired by those objects.

A new video will be released on Tuesday, April 20, at 10:00 a.m. on Vesterheim’s website here or Facebook page. The video will be available for later viewing on Vesterheim’s YouTube channel.

You may see lots of colors around you – blues, greens, reds, yellows, oranges – but what if one day you could only see the world in black and white? We’ll look at historic black and white images and use clues in the photos to guess what colors might actually have been in the scenes. There will be a drawing and guessing game activity.

Instructions for the make-at-home art project and game are available below:
Do You See What I See?

Barnetimen programs are geared toward 3 – 5 year olds, but all ages are welcome, and new programs are available online the third Tuesday of the month, September through April, at 10 a.m.

This program is sponsored by the United States Regional Arts Resilience Fund Phase 1, an initiative of Arts Midwest and its peer United States Regional Arts Organizations made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; with additional support from local sponsors David and Brenda Carlson and Norwegian Mutual Insurance Association.
