As a little girl travels through the museum, each artwork gives her a different feeling. She feels twinkly, sparkly and can't help but pose like what she sees.

Prompting Questions:

  • What kind of artwork makes you feel happy?
  • What do you like to do when you are excited?
  • Can you make a pose like this painting?
