YES GALLERY

This Fall, Bennett’s 4th, 5th and 6th graders created art inspired by the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum collection and the life and work of artist Peggy Bacon. The students created charcoal portraits for this school-wide show. 4th grade students made portraits of people from their community, 5th grade students made self portraits and 6th grade students made portraits of renowned and celebrated people.

Collaborating with art teacher Roberta Ziemba, WAAM Education Curator Beth Humphrey worked with all Bennett students exploring works created by Peggy Bacon during the Great Depression to learn drawing techniques.
