YES: Portrait Project

The 2nd grade students of High Meadow School (Stone Ridge, NY) explore family stories as a means to understand history.  Students interviewed family members, asking “Can you tell me a story about how things were different when you were younger”?

WAAM Education Curator, Beth Humphrey, visited the classroom and supported the project by working with the students in creating portraits based on these interviews and inspired by important portraits from the WAAM’s Permanent Collection.
