Renewed and Connected
This week we explored the art of illumination with Karla. Seated in a circular formation, drew portraits from observation with Evelyn. At PS 17, our young artists brought mythical creatures to life through brilliant colored illustrations. We also installed our end of year exhibitions at PS 17 & PS 6 and celebrated our Geminis!
