On the eve of my daughter’s first gallery reception, (Yes, I am taking a two-year-old to a gallery reception with glass at it. Lots of glass.) we have been reading some great books that my favorite aunt bought for us at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
The books are No One Saw…Ordinary Things by Bob Raczka and Matisse Dance with Joy by Susan Goldman Rubin.
No One Saw…Ordinary Things discusses how great artists saw ordinary things differently than anyone else. “No one saw stars like Vincent Van Gogh.” It is a great book that she loves. I love exposing her to art at an early age, and I hope she’ll love it. She certainly loves these books
If you’re interested in checking out some art in Columbus, go to “Materials Matter” at Art Access Gallery in Bexley.

Ive been looking for good art books for my kids, will definitely be checking these out. You are brave to take your 2yo to a gallery with glass…I get nervous taking MYSELF in there! LOL!
It was very nerve-racking having her in the gallery! I was so worried that she would run into something. We were there for about 45 minutes, and she did really well.
I love those books. They are great. And I am pleasantly surprised how much my daughter loves them!
