Mount Vernon kids bridge cultures via art

May

Students from Grimes Elementary School in Mount Vernon have created African, Chinese, Inuit and Venetian masks as part of a culture bridging program. The school received a grant from the Westchester Arts Council to create the masks. The students from third to sixth grade, also spent weeks learning about each of the groups. The masks will be on display at the school for two weeks.

View more photos of the art in the flickr gallery on the right sidebar! (Just scroll down and you’ll see it.) And remember, you can now add your own photos directly to the Hall Monitor!
