Student Art Exhibition: Through August 31, 2004 at Yeshiva Univ. Museum

Yeshiva University Museum presents the annual exhibition of drawings and paintings by students in its Visual Arts Immersion program from PS 173, Community School District 6, Region 10, through August 31, 2004.

“Seeing in Living Color” is a Visual Arts Immersion program run by Yeshiva University Museum, in partnership with the NYC Department of Education, at the Museum’s fully equipped Community Art Studio in Yeshiva University’s Gottesman Library. Serving kindergarten through fifth graders in the dual-language program at P.S. 173, the program seeks to integrate visual arts into the literacy and language arts curriculum. “Seeing in Living Color” was chosen to represent Community School District 6 in Curriculum Quest 2000, a fair in which school districts presented examples of best practices in implementing the new Learning Standards. Dina Bursztyn, the artist/educator in charge of the program, was recently described by the “New York Times” as “an artist of remarkable range, talent and ability.”

Since its founding in 1973, Yeshiva University Museum’s changing contemporary art and historical exhibits have celebrated the culturally diverse intellectual and artistic achievements of over 3,000 years of Jewish experience. In 2000, Yeshiva University Museum moved to the Center for Jewish History at 15 West 16th Street, New York City, where it occupies four spacious galleries, a children’s workshop center, a docent room, and an outdoor sculpture garden. Other features of the building include a 250-seat auditorium, a shop, and the kosher Date Palm Cafe. Visit www.yumuseum.org for more information about Yeshiva University Museum.#
