We took the 4th graders on a field trip to the Nassau County Museum of Art. I've lived not more than 5 miles from this place my entire life and I'd never been.(and being the good New Yorker that I am, I've never been to the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island either, but that's for another time) It was wonderful. It's a Frick mansion, beautiful house, there are gardens and amazing sculptures all over the grounds. We were there for two exhibits; Picasso and Chuck Close. I saw this
Olga - Picasso
.....and this
Little Girl with Doll
and this was my favorite
Lucas by Chuck Close
The kids were amazing. They brought their sketch books, made wonderful sketches, asked great questions and they were so well behaved and polite. Buckley is a special place. I'm glad we're there.
