The most wonderful time of the year!

Enjoy this wonderful holiday season! We wish to thank everyone who has participated and who supports the wonder of our ArtLink programs.

This beautiful piece of art was created by a Russian student who participated in ArtLink many years ago. The title of the piece is, "Traditional Winter Games" by Elena A. from St. Petersburg, Russia.

This piece can be seen at the Darien Library as part of our exhibit, “Seasons and Celebrations: Children's Art From Around the World."

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want to wish everyone a happy holiday season! This art was created by a young student who participated in our ArtLink Program in 2004. The title of this piece is "Thanksgiving Day Parade" by Gena M. age 9 from Armonk, New York, USA. She describes her piece: "My tradition is watching the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City. In my scene, they are holding a Snoopy balloon, as they are walking down the street. I chose this scene, because it is fun and exciting to be at the parade."

ArtLink Partners!

Just In!

This art work is just in from McCall Middle School, in Winchester Massachusetts. The title of this piece is “Love of Sports: Soccer", the artist is Robert C. age 13.

Robert created this piece while participating in our fall ArtLink Program. This McCall Middle School class is partnered with a class in Brazil.

The Art is Arriving!

Outreach

We are thrilled to welcome members of the Higher Order of Thinking (HOT) school community for a presentation about our ArtLink and Rainforest ArtLink Programs on Monday November 7, 2011 at their Leadershop. We endorse and value “The HOT approach [as it] is reflected in a school’s commitment to child centered, experiential, arts integrated teaching and learning. In an arts infused environment…” We believe our programs meet many of their goals and objectives, in particular by, “creating opportunities for students to express themselves artistically within the academic curriculum.”

Snow! Snow!

Winter arrived early leaving lots of snow all over Connecticut.

This art work entitled, "Snow Playground", was created by Pat S. from Ridgefield, Connecticut, USA. This art piece was created in our ArtLink Program where students create art projects designed to reflect their life and culture which are then exchanged with a partner class in a different country. ArtLink is an adventure in cross-cultural discovery!
