CRMA Doodlebugs via Zoom: Grant's Gothic Glass
<p>Grant Wood’s most famous artwork is “American Gothic,” named for the pointy window behind the farmer and lady in the painting. But did you know Grant also created windows? See some of his stained glass work and then make a gothic-style “window” you can hang in your home!</p><p>Supplies: To do the art project along with Miss Erin, you’ll need these materials at the ready: Plastic zippie bags, permanent markers like Sharpies (washable or water-based markers won’t work on plastic), pencil & scratch paper, tape. If you don’t want to use permanent markers, you can also do this project using washable markers on regular copy paper, or any thinner paper that lets light shine through when you hold it up to a window.</p><p>https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5695519009?pwd=NFpuVEJEOUdNZXNJWUY0ZjVKRE5ydz09</p><p>Meeting ID: 569 551 9009</p><p>Passcode: Doodlebugs</p> 2021-01-27 11:30:00 -06002/26/2110:30 a.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -

Meet the Author - Karen Roth
<p>Join us Via Zoom!</p><p>Meeting ID: 845 8062 0870<br>Passcode: 051097</p><p>Karen Roth is a writer, teacher and history enthusiast who loves to connect with other readers and history aficionados. She is the author of two novels set in the narratives of Cedar Rapids, Found On 16th Avenue and My Portion Forever. “My parents came of age during the Depression and World War II, and their stories of those times are very much part of what shapes our reality today,” she says. “When you start delving into the history you find so many connections, so many amazing details, that help us understand the world we live in now. I love the way that a good narrative – a historical novel – makes those times living and real.”</p><p>Educated at Regis High School, Coe College, and the University of Texas, Karen now lives with her husband, Vic, in San Antonio, Texas. She comes back to visit Cedar Rapids as often as she can.</p>
