Ann Lambson: So tell us a little about La Musidora.
Héctor Esrawe: La Musidora is inspired [by] the rocking chair and a musical instrument…so it’s a mix of those elements that creates a single word called la musidora which is a mix of “la mecedora” and “la música” in Spanish.
Creativity and imagination fill the gallery space in the lower level of the North Building at the Denver Art Museum. The DAM is currently showcasing artwork by early childhood students—children under the age of six. All of the pieces on view were created by the students of Mile High Early Learning and Clayton Early Learning. The artwork has been created in a variety of ways with a wide range of materials. These creative young artists have made a stunning array of colorful and eye-catching artwork with the help of dedicated teachers and staff.
