Sam got a lesson in art appreciation on a field trip to an art museum. Although Sam liked the impressionist paintings and Japanese prints, he definitely prefers modern art at this stage. Probably because it has lots of geometric shapes and bright colors! :) This one was a painting/sculpture in the shape of World Map, made of pieces of trash.
This artwork is made of old recycled car tires. Sam thought this piece was very moving, because to him it represented something old and traditional, juxtaposed on environmental concerns for the Planet Earth and reborn to be a beautiful piece of art.
At home, grandma Galina is reading books to Sam. This one is about the adventures of a Russian cartoon character "Kolobok". Kolobok is kind of a small friendly neighborhood bagel (without a hole) who rolls around and gets in trouble because everyone is trying to eat him.
