K/1s Learn About the Art of Grandma Moses

Grandma Moses painted winter landscapes in Hoosick Falls, right near us! The K/1s learned about this extraordinary artist who began painting at age 70 and continued to work for the next 30 years! Her story and her artwork are very accessible to 5 and 6 year olds who appreciate the story like quality of her early farm life and later success. In her style, they are painting winter landscapes with a background, middleground and foreground and hopefully lots of details.
