Student Art at Portsmouth Public Library

Art by Birchtree students is included in SPLASH! The Art of Portsmouth’s Young People, an exhibit at the Portsmouth Public Library now through Monday, 3/30/09. The Friends of the Portsmouth Public Library organized the exhibit, which features art by students at several local schools.


Birchtree students created their artwork to honor Eric Carle, who this year celebrates his 80th birthday and the 40th anniversary of his book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.


Here we see the life of a caterpillar, from egg to cocoon to butterfly, in a style inspired by Carle’s collages. We see all the food our caterpillar eats, including many of our students’ favorites. Do you see your favorite food here?


The exhibit is on display through Monday, March 30; call 603-427-1540 for more information.
