Art Unit Collaboration with the Guggenheim

Second graders kicked off an immersive art unit done in collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum by sketching its exterior. Their renditions of the famed museum, were, as voiced by their teacher, "spectacular!"

Throughout the fall term, the boys will hold their weekly 90-minute art sessions inside the Guggenheim itself—studying the museum’s iconic architecture and exploring modern masterpieces from its permanent collection. With guidance from a museum educator and their Saint David’s art teacher, they will create original works inspired by what they see. 

The experience culminates in a presentation of the Thannhauser Collection to parents and special friends, along with a public exhibition of the boys' own artwork held at the museum—giving boys the rare chance to share their growth as artists in a celebrated and inspiring space.
