KIDS ACTIVITY DISCOVERIES: "Dry Goods"
What time of day is it in these paintings? Tell a story about these people:
This painting by Edward Hopper is called "Morning Sun." He painted it when he was 70 years old. (You can see this painting in real life at the Columbus Museum of Art.)
Josephine Nivison Hopper, an artist herself who married Edward Hopper, posed as the model for this painting (when she was 69 years old). What does the composition of this painting make you think she is thinking? If you were in this room instead of her, what would the sunlight feel like? Is the room warm, or cold? What else do you think you'd see out the window?
To learn more about Josephine, see our 2022 exhibition "Josephine Nivison Hopper: Edward's Muse."
