HANCsters mount art gallery

Nursery Bet students at HANC’s Samuel & Elizabeth Bass Golding Early Childhood Center, in West Hempstead, were introduced to the world of art by taking part in Artist Studies in which they learned about famous artists and their techniques. 

Each class focused on three artists including, Monet, Van Gogh, Kandisky, Mondrian, Seurat, Andy Warhol, Henry Matisse, Picasso, Michelangelo and Jackson Pollack, and anciant Cave Art. After learning about the artists’ unique styles and techniques, each student created their own version of an artist’s famous paintings, using that artist’s style. The students then invited their families to join them for a gala Art Gallery.

“The goal of our Art Enrichment Program is to introduce our students to the beauty and wonder of art and culture,” explained morah Trudy Rubinstein, drector of the Early Childhood Center. “The students love learning about different artists’ styles and they love exploring their own artistic skills.”

In addition to having their beautiful artwork on display, the students shared delicious goodies that they made in class -— “A,” “R” and “T” cookies, paintbrush pretzels, and palette cookies. 

It was beautiful to see students explore the world of art and bring out their own distinctive talents.
