The Hearthstone high schoolers celebrated the first day of Spring not in the rural countryside, but in Washington, D.C. .
On March 21, high school students, teachers, and parents ventured from our cozy village of Sperryville to partake in the wealth of culture that resides in our nation’s capital. Our first stop was the Corcoran Gallery of Art, where we viewed a photography exhibit to augment the students’ photography class.
The exhibit, bv Wendv Ewell, was a collection of photos taken by the artist and her students from all over the world. The pictures were combined with written stories about the lives of the individuals featured. These simple black and white images spoke of family, poverty, and the power of cultural tradition.
Our photography students walked away with a gleam in their eyes as they viewed their urban surroundings, mentally planning future photographs.
Warming our faces in the springtime sun, we enjoyed a picnic lunch before heading to the Kennedy Center for the Tony Award winning play, “Copenhagen.”
Miranda Hope’s drama class had prepared the students well for this highly intellectual play. We all came away discussing not only drama, but also history, physics and mathematics.
