Poetry and Art with Pittsburgh History and Landmarks

Last week, the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation brought poetry, personification and art to the Heritage 4th grade students. The Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) is a nonprofit organization housed in Station Square whose mission is to educate the Pittsburgh communities about restoration, preservation and appreciation of the buildings, spaces, and landmarks that surround us. Louise Sturgess, Executive Director, engaged students in a workshop which utilized landmark details from Greensburg, Oakland, and downtown Pittsburgh. Students were led in poetry exercises which invited them to become the details through personification. Charcoal sketching accompanied the poetry to culminate this unique poetry and art workshop! A special thank you to the Heritage PTO for once again sponsoring this incredible experience for our 4th grade students.
