Irvington Elementary Schoolers Celebrate Art

Main Street School in Irvington recently was turned into an art gallery as dozens of works of art by K-5 students were placed on display for parents, faculty and community residents.

The May 19 visual art show was spearheaded by Art Department Chairperson and fourth- and fifth-grade art teacher Nina Rossi, as well as kindergarten through third-grade art teacher Sandy Duffield.

Some of the artwork was mounted on display boards that were generously donated through a PTSA grant, including still life chalk drawings of flowers created by first-grade students and abstract “Shades of Gray” paintings carefully done by third-grade students. Kindergarten students’ contributions, depictions of cities made using pieces of colorful construction paper, also were on display.

Fourth-grade contributions varied from drawings, to creative three-dimensional pieces that showcased students’ reflections on their Habits of Mind.

Fifth-graders’ structural representations of Mesoamerican architecture, which were created with visiting artist Janet Roseff, stood as three-dimensional models throughout the hallway. This effort was made possible through funding provided by the Irvington Education Foundation.
