Paint By Numbers

One of President Eisenhower’s favorite hobbies was painting, and as Supreme Allied Commander during WWII, he played a significant role in protecting European art seized by German forces. In this program participants will learn about the Monuments Men who protected art during WWII. They will also learn about the paint by number craze of the 1950’s that caught on in the White House, too! As a follow up to this program, students can re-create one of Ike’s paintings the paint by numbers way!
