More art

We returned yesterday to two places we had visited recently, the Family Fun Festival at Millenium Park and The Art Institute next door, to involve the kids in some more little art projects. It was Kaleidoscope Family Day at the latter.

One project at the family fest had stations, each representing a city neighborhood, with materials to make trading cards with images or designs befitting that neighborhood. We picked Chinatown.



There also was a station for the Loop, and among its images were the lion statues that sit outside The Art Institute. But we did that one better and stopped for our own photos with the lions themselves.


We also stopped for a pirate for the first time. Those scallywags are everywhere right now, promoting The Field Museum's temporary exhibit about pirates. This was in a bus shelter on Michigan Ave.
