The Northeast Harbor Library is excited to start the year with an exhibit of work by students at Mount Desert Elementary!
Art teacher, Shannon Westphal and the students have been back in the classroom and busy.
Shannon writes, “While many things are still unknown, it has been such a blessing to have the art program at MDES back up and running in its full capacity. These pieces are a sample of some of the things we have been working on this year. You will find classics such as figure drawing by kindergarten and a variety of landscapes by 3rd through 6th grade. You will also find some more open ended work that is based on the elements of art and principles of design created by some of the 7th and 8th graders.
Having this work all hung together is always one of the highlights of my year. Being surrounded by student work always snaps into place how lucky I am to teach art in such a supportive community.”
This show will be up for January and February at the library and available to view during the library’s operating hours. If you are making a special trip to the library to see the exhibit, please call ahead at 207 276 3333 to check availability of the room.
