Just last week, I had a chance to visit the beautiful Frederick Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI and boy was I impressed! There is so much to see and learn and so much to do. As I explored, it was hard to contain my excitement, and I thought I did pretty well, until I saw these...
Authentic, real life, Keith Haring and Jim Dine Sculptures!!! Not only do I love these artist in general, but there was an even stronger connection of awe and appreciation due to the fact that we recently covered Keith Haring with 4th graders and learned all about Jim Dine with 1st graders back in February!
Of course, I just had to share these discoveries with my classes! Have you seen them yet? If not, I highly encourage a visit to Frederick Meijer Gardens!
