Some of my favorite art quotes

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." ~Pablo Picasso

"Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind." ~ Leonardo da Vinci

The New York State Art Teacher's Association Legislative Exhibit is co-sponsored by the New York State Alliance for Arts in Education. This student art exhibit is held in the Legislative Well in the Capitol Building in Albany each Spring. Legislators from across the state are invited to share the artistic accomplishments of their aspiring artist constituents at a reception for parents, students and teachers.

Congratulations to Chelsea, Evan and Jasmine! We are very proud to have you represent Maple Hill High School.
