K-6 Arts in Education Painting with a Visiting Artist

Picture

A big thank you to the Minnesauke PTA for sponsoring our Painting with a Visiting Artist project. In December every student at Minnesauke had the opportunity to help create a grade level, 48"x60", stretched canvas painting inspired by a famous artist. The completed artwork will be on display at Minnesauke; and will be auctioned sometime in the spring. 
  

Students From Minnesauke Honored at Heckscher Park


Congratulations to our 6th graders who recently attended the "Embracing Our Differences" outdoor art exhibit at Heckscher Park. Their artwork was selected  by a prestigious group of curators to be part of this very special exhibit, hosted by The Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity & Human Understanding.The original artwork is on view at Minnesauke.
