The exhibition Thinking Through Art: Young Artists and Writers presents art and writing created by students and inspired by the exhibition Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection. This multi-session, Museum-based curriculum that culminates in an exhibition uses the examination of original art as a dynamic source for generating new works involving writing, visual art, and media. On display will be work by fourth grade students from Katonah Elementary School, Katonah, NY and third grade students from King School, Greenwich, CT.

Now celebrating its 11th year, Thinking Through Art is presented both in the Museum galleries and the students’ classrooms, and features KMA’s writer-in-residence, poet Pamela Hart, who works in-depth with students from Westchester and Fairfield counties. The curriculum is collaboratively planned with teachers and supports Common Core and other literacy skills.

All are invited with family and friends to the
