2/3s Paint Pictures Inspired by The Hudson River School

As the 2/3s learn about the Hudson River in class they are learning about the Hudson River School painters in art class. Working with the idea of an ideal landscape, the students each developed their own idea of what would be ideal for them and painted their vision on a long horizontal format, keeping in mind the Hudson River School artists' attention to detail and a sense of space. A trip to the Albany Institute of History and Art will add depth to this study.
