Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at the Heckscher Museum 1996
May 24, 1996 - June 2, 1996
During this exciting collaboration between school and cultural institution, primary, intermediate, middle school and high school art teachers and students worked closely with Heckscher Museum of Art educators. Through a series of in-classroom activities, and museum visits combined with hands-on art experiences, students were encouraged to further their understanding of art while exploring the works on view within a cultural context. Along with discussion, such activities as creative writing and drawing as a tool for seeing, have been designed to heighten visual awareness.
