BROOKLYN FRIENDS SCHOOL

GU ID ED by the Quaker belief that there is a Divine Light in everyone, Brooklyn Friends School cultivates an intellectually ambitious and diverse

community that celebrates each individual’s gifts. We challenge our students to value and embrace difference as they develop critical thinking skills and apply their knowledge and intelligence both in and out of the classroom. In this rich learning environment, we inspire all members of our community to voice their convictions, to discover and pursue their passions, and to seek truth. Our graduates are compassionate, curious, and confident global citizens who let their lives speak in the spirit of leadership and service.

ELOISE SEDA

A

s this calendar spectacularly illustrates, creating art is a way of life at Brooklyn Friends School. The selections of student art herein represent works from preschool through 12th grade.

They were created using a wide array of media and techniques: painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, mixed media, woodworking, mosaics, sculpture, ceramics, and many forms of three-dimensional art. The School is grateful to the students who shared their art in this calendar and to the Visual Arts Department and teachers who joyfully inspire our community to bring color, shape, texture, stories and delight into our school every day.

The calendar also incudes designations of several commemorative months in recognition of the cultural diversity of our community. (Source: diversitycentral.com) Visit our virtual art gallery on the BFS website, brooklynfriends.org/gallery
