November is Art Adventures month at Lester Prairie
Elementary School. Students of all grade
levels are treated to a special art experience thanks to the Lester Prairie
Arts Council. Members of the council
come into individual classrooms once a week with copies of artwork from the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The
children explore the pieces and are taught where they came from and the
significance of them. They then create
their own artwork that is in someway connected to one of the pieces they
studied. At the end of their elementary career, students travel to the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts to see the actual pieces they have studied over
the years.
