Mary Blair concept art for Small World attraction at Disneyland

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Not only is it almost Christmas, but it's almost time for a new season of Homeschool Hub.  In fact, registration for the first session opens today, December 22, 2021.

Learn all about Mary Blair Art on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at 2 p.m.  Miss Grace will introduce you to the woman whose vibrant colors and stylized designs pervaded Disney animated films from 1943 to 1953 (Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan).  Miss Grace will also lead everyone in an art project inspired by Mary Blair's work on Disneyland’s IT’S A SMALL WORLD attraction.  Registration is required for this K-8th grade event.  You can sign up online or by phone (205-444-7830).
