ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM
with area schools and at the Edward Hopper House
Our Arts Education Program is up and running, engaging nearly 500 local students in grades K-12 in interdisciplinary, multi-media fine arts projects focused on the recurrent themes, distinctive aesthetics, or other defining aspects of Edward Hopper's work. Each session includes a pre-lesson in the classroom, a visit to the Edward Hopper House (on some occasions a hands-on project at RoCA) and a post-lesson in the classroom to strengthen student understanding. The culminating project is led by an artist-in-residence in the school for one, two, or three contact sessions.
The program has been a great success. "What an exciting opportunity to work with Edward Hopper House and learn more about the painter in this creative, curriculum based partnership," said Martha Ryan, principal of Strawtown Elementary School.

The Edward Hopper House Arts Education Program was initially funded with proceeds from a benefit last October sponsored by Ellis Sotheby's International Realty. We are delighted to announce that Ellis Sotheby's International Realty will again sponsor a fundraiser with us in the Fall to benefit this exciting program.
