Lady Liberty Visits 373
?>
Lady Liberty (aka Ms. Daniels from the Noble Maritime Collection) stopped by recently to talk to some of our students about herself and the harbor that is such an important part of our city. Students were able to ask her questions about how the Statue of Liberty came to our country, what it means to people, and about what we find in New York Harbor today as well as centuries ago. Students from Ms. DiMeo’s, Ms. Caputo’s, Ms. Madino’s, and Mr. Mac’s classes are participating in a workshop series with the Noble Maritime Collection of Snug Harbor, which will continue On October 23, 2007, when a visiting artist will come and work with the students on seascapes featuring ships and vessels found locally. The workshop will end with a gallery exhibit at the museum.
Look for our paintings and prints!
Lady Liberty stands in the center of New York Harbor on Liberty Island. Lady Liberty is a grand statue indeed. It was also a gift from the French. I love Lady Liberty. I do like the work we are doing. It is very fun. I like the fact that we can sketch freehand and make our ships. I think that I will have a lot of fun at the museum.
