Creating from Knowledge

        In the Peabody  art studio children were provided the opportunity to use a vast array of materials to create representations of their developing knowledge about the sun, energy, and habitat.  Projects often took a unique turn as their questions provoked new explorations through the process of artistic creations.  Led through this process by Peabody art teacher Keira Gladstone, the children used their imagination and their creative abilities to provide our new 4th floor art studio with a continuing exhibit of their art work.
