2/3s Draw Landmarks along the Hudson River

As part of their fall study of the Hudson River, each 2/3 student has chosen a specific landmark to research in class. In art class they are doing careful drawings of their chosen sight in order to become more familiar with it. When these are complete the students will build a three-dimensional model of the Hudson crafting their landmarks out of cardboard and placing them accurately along the river. This project will help the students develop a clearer picture of the Hudson, its surrounds, and its importance historically and in the present.
