I ran into one of my little HES kindergarten friends Matthew, at the New Britain Museum of American Art last week. He was there with his gram-pa, who is learning how to be a docent at the museum. The museum is just the right size and not too overwhelming for elementary age and older kids. It's a wonderful place to take your kids on a rainy day or weekend to see some beautiful works of art.  Below is an example of Chihuly's blown glass sculptures which hangs in one of the stairwells.

Students in grade four recently completed their landscape watercolor paintings. As previously posted, we were so fortunate to have an antique car come to HES courtesy of the Gaiss family from town, to draw for part of this assignment. Students had a great time redesigning putting their own spin on and updating their cars to the year 2018. I think you will agree that their finished examples are frame worthy and sure make me proud to be their teacher.

Students in kindergarten recently completed some beautiful Jackson Pollack line paintings.
