Guest artist Lucy Dirksen worked this spring with third graders at Greenbelt Elementary School to observe beans and draw plants during different stages of development. The beans were first planted in the classroom and then transplanted into the courtyard garden. This project is one of many funded by The Family Art Fund at Greenbelt Elementary, which was created by the PTA and the non-profit, Greenbelt Association for the Visual Arts. The program brings local artists into the school to interweave the arts into the curriculum to make learning more engaging and meaningful
