Burke at Burchfield

Students travelled to the Burchfield Penney Museum for the last time this year.  The new exhibition, Philip Burke, infamous for his caricatures of famous individuals, really inspired the children.

In addition to a most engaging preview of artwork, we also had a fantastic docent- Renata.  She enjoyed her time with the students. 

This time, the exhibition was especially relevant to the students.  in September, each student created their own portrait, and recently, Ms. Rose had them create a second portrait, to show growth in their artistic abilities.
