WHERE DID VAN GOGH GO?



He went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Who did he see? He saw the children of Gan Daled who were there celebrating the culmination of their kindergarten art program.


The art program introduces our children to the works of famous artists and their lives. The students learn about each artists style, subjects and medium. The young artists are then given an opportunity to express themselves through projects in the style of that artist.


Some of the artists that we studied this year include: Rembrandt, Piet Mondrian, Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall and Georgia O'Keeffe. The children were very excited to see the actual works that they had learned about during the year. Passersby in the museum were amazed at the knowledge exhibited by our children.


Our trip ended with "Tuesday Afternoon in the Park". All around, it was a picture perfect day.
