Mothers of Junior Old Boys Gathering
by Kate Fiscus, Director of Old Boys
On Tuesday, April 25, St. Bernard’s Mothers of Junior Old Boys met at The River Club for cocktails and conversation. Over sixty mothers attended to listen to guest speaker Alice Schwarz, mother of Liam ’09 and Quinn ’15, discuss “Art and Observation.” Alice has over thirty-three years of experience working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is a master of gallery-based teaching. Alice treated attendees to a brief history of art education and divided the room into three groups for an interactive exercise which involved analyzing the painting Esther Boardman by Ralph Earl. By taking a few minutes to look closely at the image, Alice taught us how to interpret the objects in the painting and understand the narrative. The experience was enlightening. Thank you to Alice and all St. Bernard’s mothers for braving the rain and wind and making last night’s event so enjoyable.
