Remote Art with MAPS & NYPL!
Meet Sylva, a magical creature called a chimera, and learn about the plants and animals that live at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem. Sylva will show you around the park and you will get to make two different art projects using paper, recycled collage materials, markers and glue or tape. Once you are done, check out some of Sylva’s favorite books, which can be found at the NYPL.
