Seaton Elementary School

ArtLinks, The Phillips Collection’s multi-visit school partnership program, enhances students’ classroom learning through arts integration. This fall, the Phillips Education Department worked with Seaton Elementary School staff to create a project that included tours of the museum and art making that connected to the prekindergarten Trees study. Inspired by Alma Thomas’s Breeze Rustling Through Fall Flowers, students created hanging mosaics that incorporated materials from trees in Washington, D.C. These artworks are displayed at Seaton Elementary this January.

On view:

• PreK4 classes - Coyne, Gnau, Kayton, Nixon

• PreK3 classes - McCan, Van Dyke, Freedman, Nixon
