What people think...
Our students enjoy this experience very much. They mention prints of paintings that they have seen in their homes. This year we had a teacher whose husband's family in Vermont had modeled for Rockwell, as well as a student whose father (as a baby) is in the Golden Rule painting
Our students really enjoyed looking at Rockwell's work first-hand. I think they will remember this trip happily for many years. Thank you!
