Join us on Thursday, March 11 at 7pm at the Harlow Gallery to discuss children’s art with Jane Frost and Jean Parkin-Clunie. How to look at Children’s Art; Stages of development; and, what students are learning in school will be among the topics touched upon. There will be plenty of children’s art on view at the Harlow on the 11th since the exhibition at the time will be our 7th annual Young at Art exhibition of children’s artwork, when area students in grades K -8 will have their work on display in the professional setting of the Harlow Gallery. Art teachers from area schools will be selecting art by students from each of their schools and will come together to create this wonderful celebration of children’s art.
The Harlow’s 2010 ArtTalk series is sponsored by Savings Bank of Maine.
