Students get a simple introduction to the Hudson River School of Art (HRS), 1825-1870, considered the first coherent school of American painting. HRS artists, such as Frederic Church and Thomas Cole, painted wilderness landscapes of the Hudson River valley and surrounding New England helping to create a uniquely American style. Children learn how a region's history and natural environment can shape art, and conversely, how art can help communicate an artist's philosophy about nature and our place within it.
