Make sure you stop by STUDIO's Gallery @ 1 East 53rd Street next Tuesday at 5pm for the opening reception of Imaginations Taking Shape. This exhibition presents collages created by students in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in New York City public schools, Head Starts and day care centers. Here you can see how a kindergartener portrays an underwater scene - covering the entire surface with torn shapes of different shades of blue and using contrasting yellows, pinks and greens to depict the floating sea life. Two fifth-grade students have carefully cut their own hand-painted paper to create a collage depicting the intricate and whimsical body of an insect.
