You'll visit a windmill, sail the seas, discover mince pie, and listen to a concert. Participants learn about landscapes, still life, seascapes, and music by reading children's books, looking at 17th-century Dutch art, and making a souvenir to document each adventure.

> Join us for three animated short films based on children's books. Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists: Rembrandt (Mike Venezia, 2002) introduces young audiences to the 17th-century Dutch artist. In this lighthearted and informative look at one of the world's most famous artists, let Rembrandt van Rijn tell you the story of his own life and creative career. This film will be preceded by Art (Patrick McDonnell, 2008), which introduces children to the imaginative world of art and how a picture really can be worth a thousand words, and The Cow Who Fell in the Canal (Gene Deitch, 2008), about a cow named Hendrika who longs to see the city. She gets her wish when she rides an old raft down one of Holland's most picturesque canals on the way to adventure. Approximately 40 minutes.

The series will include hilarious favorites: For the Birds (Ralph Eggleston, 2001), Mike's New Car (Pete Docter and Roger Gould, 2003), and One Man Band (Mark Andrews and Andrew Jimenez, 2006). Approximately 45 minutes.
