KIDS ARTWORK ON DISPLAY!

Artwork provided by local 4th Grade Students is now available for viewing at the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center.  The artwork is in follow up of the School Visitation Program where children were introduced to the life and work of Frank Lloyd Wright.  Representatives from Taliesin Preservation, Inc. visited each of the 4th grade classes within the River Valley School District and performed an educational skit.  As part of the program, students were encouraged to use their creativity to draw, make origami, write poems, etc. all about Frank Lloyd Wright.  As a finale, the students were brought out to Hillside for a field trip.
 
Special thanks to the 4th Grade Teachers and Alliant Energy Foundation for making this a very successful event!
