Over Spring Break, students went on a creative and educational journey to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Marlena Murtagh and Kim Kozak, pg电子游戏平台's Visual Arts Teachers, traveled with 12 students for this incredible experience.
"Taking in the beautiful landscapes of Santa Fe allowed me to deepen my appreciation of art. Witnessing the desert sunset gave me a greater appreciation for nature's beauty," said Cailey Brooks, Class of 2024.
"It truly was an honor to see these artists in a whole new environment. Whether it was night star photography or water-coloring the desert landscape, this group of students took risks and met new challenges with joy and an open heart," Ms. Murtagh expressed.
Chimayo, the oldest Catholic Pilgrimage site, is pictured above. Students sketched and learned about Santa Fe history. They also visited the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, pictured below. This Cathedral has the oldest statue of the Virgin Mary in the United States!
The group toured Ghost Ranch and walked in the same footsteps of Georgia O'Keeffe, an American modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades.
