Lower School Students will Study Picture Book Art & Artists
The Mazza Museum of International Art from Picture Books is the world's first and largest collection of original art from children's picture books. The museum is located at The University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. www.mazzamuseum.org/. The Mazza School Extension Program is a yearly school program where a school studies three Mazza book artists, integrating their books into the curriculum. Only three Mazza Schools are selected each year.
The entire Lower School will visit the Mazza Museum and at the end of the program, the school committee will select three works of art from a list of “Artworks for Sponsorship” for the purpose of studying these artists and their books. The criterion for artworks will be those artists who are living, with books in print, featuring varied media, styles and appropriate for a variety of age levels.
