Students from Powderly Elementary School got to participate in a new & unique learning experience this morning after participating in the Alabama Woodlands Discovery Field Trip. Artist Laurie Ann Kramer instructed the children in plein air painting, using the walkway facing the Dunn Formal Rose Garden as a backdrop, as a part of the Artists as Educators Program. The pilot program is made possible by and funded through partnerships between the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, Birmingham City Schools and the Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham.
