multicultural arts at Bessie and Nora's Place

Reconstruct Art has begun providing multicultural art classes for the preschool students at Bessie and Nora's Place in Jamaica, Queens.

Even though they are very young, the kids are incredibly focused, patient and creative, and have been making exotic art projects like djembe drums (West Africa) and paper fans (Japan).

After making art using collage, painting, stamping etc., the students listen to traditional music from the culture we're featuring, and then drum, dance or sing along. Stay tuned for more photos!
