Art "Through the Ages"






The Evening of the Arts actually began yesterday afternoon with the Pre-K and Kindergarten concert and continues through the weekend with the gallery open for viewing after Meeting on Sunday. One very special aspect of this annual event is the fact that every single student at every grade level participates and has their artwork on display.

Fifth graders are given special treatment, with individual display space for each one of them. I also appreciate the collaborative works of art. This year, they include Rapunzel's Castle (second grade), the preamble to the Constitution "spelled out" on license plates from the fifty states (fifth grade), and a copy of Picasso's Three Musicians (several grades).

Kudos to T. Dennis, who began the Evening of the Arts many years ago, T. Ruth and Julia Morris (Tyler '03) for their expert hanging of the art show, and T. Karen for her energy in putting together an entertaining concert.
