IMAGE GALLERY: First-Graders' Art Featured at Library

The following is a news release from the :

Our first grade book group, Book & Art, celebrates the love of reading and the arts.

During the months of March and April, the Exeter Public Library Children’s Room will exhibit the book groups’ artwork that was created after reading and discussing "The Farewell Symphony" by Anna Harwell Celenza.

Using a similar technique of the books illustrator, JoAnn Kitchel, the group used oil pastels and painted while listening to "The Farewell Symphony" by Austrian composer, Joseph Haydn.

The children’s compositions show an interesting correlation between the book, the music, and their own interests. Come and view the exhibit, read the book, possibly listen to a few strains of the Symphony (#45 in F-sharp minor) and imagine what you might paint.

The Exeter Public Library is located in scenic downtown Exeter at 4 Chestnut St.
