A New Awareness of the Outside - Guided by Matteo Pericoli
Thanks to Matteo Pericoli's visit to FP, Second Grade students will expand their own views on place, creativity, and the meaning of home. Mr. Pericoli has worked as an architect, illustrator, author, journalist, and teacher. He photographed the whole of New York’s shoreline and made two continuous enchanting pen-and-ink drawing of Manhattan’s skyline.
His new book, Windows on the World, is a look inside the worlds of writers, reminding us that the things we see every day are woven into our selves and our imaginations. Using Mr. Pericoli's work as a model, second graders will pair their drawings of window views with text.
