Prescott's Painted Verses: Hear our colors ROAR!

Prescott's student artists are busily preparing for our upcoming poetry and art show.  Come join us!
Tuesday, May 26th
 5-7PM
The Lincoln Park Branch of the Chicago Public Library

Jaren and Esteban work on paintings based on a Langston Hughes poem.

From May 17-June 8th, Prescott artists of all ages will be exhibiting work at the Lincoln Park branch of the Chicago Public Library.  It is located at the intersection of Fullerton and Racine, within walking distance of the school.  At the following link, you can see their hours and location.

On the evening of Tuesday, May 26th, from 5-7pm, you are all invited to a reception to honor our poets and artists.  There will be a poetry reading by 10 of our middle school students, and there will be poetry-themed art on display by each student from our school.  The exhibit will be in the library's auditorium space, located in the back of the first floor.  I hope to see you all there!  Here are some of the works you will see and some links to the poems that inspired them.

This painting, by William, is based on his original poem.
