LUNCH DOODLES with Mo Willems! Kennedy Center Education Artist-in-Residence at Home #MoLunchDoodles Mo invites you into his studio for a Mo Doodle Graduation Ceremony and a special thank you gift! Visit http://www.kennedy-center.org/mowillems to download a worksheet for this LUNCH DOODLE! Send the Kennedy Center your drawings and questions for Mo: LUNCHDOODLES@kennedy-center.org. A note from Mo with more about the project: When I became the Kennedy Center Education Artist-in-Residence, I didn’t realize the most impactful word in that title would be ‘Residence.’ With millions of learners attempting to grow and educate themselves in new circumstances, I have decided to invite everyone into my studio once a day for the next few weeks. Grab some paper and pencils, pens, or crayons. We are going to doodle together and explore ways of writing and making. If you have questions for me, send them to LUNCHDOODLES@kennedy-center.org and I might get to answer them. You might be isolated, but you’re not alone. You are an art maker. Let’s make some together.
