Explore each grade’s project, and enjoy the incredible variations from student to student!  Kindergarten explored Kandinsky's flowers. First grade tried collage, with inspiration from Matisse. Second Grade went back in time to learn about ancient Namibian charcoal drawings. Third Graders made self-portraits influenced by the color work of Paul Klee. Fourth grade learned about Hilma af Klimt's work, and made traditional and abstract still life. Fifth grade followed the pencil lines of Picasso by recreating some of his master drawings...upside-down! 

We need volunteers to help install and deinstall work! VOLUNTEER

From Brad Lander’s Office: “On Wednesday January 23rd, the New York City Parks Department will discuss potential upgrades to the two green spaces on either side of the Ocean Parkway Service Road. Last year Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and I allocated $650,000 to refurbish the sitting area on East 8th Street and the park on Sherman Street, and at this meeting the Parks Department will update us on their plans and listen to your suggestions for how to improve these spaces. We will also share updates on the different development projects in the “Stable Brooklyn” area, including the rezoning of nearby 57 Caton Place, and the preservation of Kensington Stables.”
