Student Art Exhibition: Through August 31, 2004
at Yeshiva Univ. Museum
Yeshiva University Museum presents the annual
exhibition of drawings and paintings by students in its Visual
Arts Immersion program from PS 173, Community School District
6, Region 10, through August 31, 2004.
“Seeing in Living Color” is a Visual
Arts Immersion program run by Yeshiva University Museum, in
partnership with the NYC Department of Education, at the Museum’s
fully equipped Community Art Studio in Yeshiva University’s
Gottesman Library. Serving kindergarten through fifth graders
in the dual-language program at P.S. 173, the program seeks
to integrate visual arts into the literacy and language arts
curriculum. “Seeing in Living Color” was chosen
to represent Community School District 6 in Curriculum Quest
2000, a fair in which school districts presented examples of
best practices in implementing the new Learning Standards.
Dina Bursztyn, the artist/educator in charge of the program,
was recently described by the “New York Times” as “an
artist of remarkable range, talent and ability.”
Since its founding in
1973, Yeshiva University Museum’s changing contemporary art and historical exhibits
have celebrated the culturally diverse intellectual and artistic
achievements of over 3,000 years of Jewish experience. In 2000,
Yeshiva University Museum moved to the Center for Jewish History
at 15 West 16th Street, New York City, where it occupies four
spacious galleries, a children’s workshop center, a docent
room, and an outdoor sculpture garden. Other features of the
building include a 250-seat auditorium, a shop, and the kosher
Date Palm Cafe. Visit www.yumuseum.org for more information
