Last Friday, #NorthsideStJ 2nd Graders had a virtual visit from the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) and their teaching artist, Ebony.
An excerpt from MIA's description of the program: "Mia called its program “World of Water” because it emphasizes how people around the world need water—and they make art to store, carry, drink, use, and celebrate water. During this experience students observe and discuss images or objects focused on the importance of water, create a watercolor painting using diverse materials and experimental techniques in the studios, and design an original water container inspired by sketches they’ve made of art from the around the world"
Thank you to Turnaround Arts Minnesota and MIA for their continued partnership with Northside Elementary School.
