The sounds of small voices and little feet filled Brunnier Art Museum Sunday afternoon as families wandered through the gallery for Impressionist Masters Family Day, a family program designed to introduce children to French culture and impressionist art, which is currently on display.Matthew DeLay, curator of education at the Brunnier, said the program was designed for elementary students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Entertainment for the young audience included reenactments of paintings, a scavenger hunt and a guide to counting in French.The scavenger hunt was difficult enough that the younger children would have to work with their parents to find the correct painting, said Allison Sheridan, an intern with Brunnier Museum.”The program enriches the understanding of art and family togetherness,” Sheridan said. “Children also learn museum understanding, like not to touch paintings.”Matt Davis, a work-study student posing as impressionist artist Augustus John, sat cross-legged on the floor with a constant cluster of children around him as he created impressionist caricatures for any child willing to sit still long enough. Large smiles crossed the faces of many of the children as Davis told stories while drawing.Tammy Kaufman brought her two children to the event after seeing a flyer for the exhibit. Kaufman had taken her children to Washington, D.C. and Chicago museums to expose them to art but there were no family-geared programs. “This is our first time at Brunnier Museum. The scavenger hunt gives the kids a purpose and it’s a smaller setting,” Kaufman said.Kaufman’s daughter, Kelsey, 10, said that she knew names of most of the artists because of the art program at her school. “This is cool because art is my favorite subject,” she said.In addition to the scavenger hunt, children were given a worksheet that centered on the 18 impressionist art pieces in the exhibit and taught them how to count in French. There was also an area where children were allowed to draw with crayon, colored pencil, chalk and pastels.DeLay stressed how important the volunteers are to the programs that Brunnier presents and the purpose behind family-oriented programs.”We try to incorporate families to begin art education early,” he said. “Part of our mission is to make these exhibits available to everyone. It was a good family day.”
