Upper School Connects with Art

The Grounds for Sculpture is both an indoor and outdoor gallery of "...works by well-known and emerging contemporary sculptors in the museum buildings and landscaped sculpture park." It is a favorite trip for both upper and lower Craig School students.

When the 11th graders visited recently, each student was instructed to select a particular sculpture and apply the four steps learned in their art class in preparation for writing an essay. The four steps are: analysis, description, interpretation, and judgment. The essay is a typical example of the cross-curricular emphasis at the Craig School -- in this case between the art and english departments.
