Who Is Your Superhero?
Defining What That Means To You:
"When I saw these images of the Horton, from Dr. Seuss's 1954 book, Horton Hears a Who, I immediately thought 'This is my superhero!' The story is about an elephant who tries to save a microscopic community of creatures that no one else can see or hear. I remembered the refrain from the book, 'A person's a person, no matter how small.' This speaks to me of inclusiveness and the bravery in honoring what others may not."
-- Jane A. Black, Associate Director of The Dayton Art Institute and Exhibition Curator
Have a seat, pick up a pencil and show or tell us who your superhero is. Use a single page to draw or write about your superhero, or tell a story using the five-panel paper.
Print your name and contact information on the back, and drop off your drawing at the Visitor Services Desk in the Entrance Rotunda so we can add it to the display. Your drawing will be available for pick up on September 28 and 29 at the Visitor Services Desk. We may post your drawings and stories on the museum's website. |
