Today we had the pleasure of meeting the abstract painter, Moe Brooker.  He was wonderful!  He talked with the girls about how he got started as an artist, what inspires him, how music influences him, and how music is so closely connected with art.  He also walked them through his process of painting and demonstrated this process.  Each second grader made their own mark on a blank canvas, then before our very eyes he pulled their marks together into a complete and finished work of art which he then gave to the school.  What an amazing and meaningful morning!  Thanks, Mr. Brooker!
