The Monet Effect
We've all heard about the positive impact of music on babies, often dubbed the ``Mozart Effect``. “Harrison’s Hat” promotes the belief that there should also be a visual “Monet Effect”. Preschoolers are sponges, willing and curious to soak up every visual and audio delight. This is a time when their minds are open to exploration and discovery. With this series, Harrison has the magical ability to disappear right into a painting done by a famous artist and experience the story while always learning a valuable life lesson as well. It’s a captivating way to jump literally right into the world of the painting and the artist.
