Former Karate Champ: I’m Tempted To Come Out Of Retirement To Fight Logan Paul

Lexi Alexander got fans briefly excited this week when she mused about indulging Paul’s UFC fantasies.

School partnerships allow the Education Department to work more closely with students at local schools throughout the year. Each partnership is unique in its curriculum and duration based on each school’s needs. Our most intensive partnership is with PS1 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, whose second and third grades come and spend a month with us to learn about art as it relates to their curriculum, and to make their own art inspired by what they see at the Museum. 

March was devoted to PS1’s second grade, who studied “New York: Then and Now” in order to learn what New York City was like long ago and to compare it to how things are today. The partnership kicks off in the classroom for a lesson; after making observations about Cafe Scene by Raphael Soyer and learning about the elements of poetry, each class wrote a class poem inspired by the painting. In their month at the Museum, students also studied Trinity Church and Wall Street by Bertram Hartman, A Morning Snow—Hudson River by George Bellows, Late Afternoon, New York, Winter by Frederick Childe Hassam, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge, The Roebling portraits in the Beaux Art Court, Winter Scene in Brooklyn by Francis Guy, Hester Street by George Benjamin Luks, and the Schenck Houses. 

Using movement, music, and sketching, students were able to make creative connections to each piece in order to better understand their curriculum. Students then used the inspiration they got in the galleries to make studio projects; collagraph prints of their favorite things in NYC. Students begin by making stamps with chipboard and foam, then paint the foam to print their image multiple times on paper. Each student then chooses their favorite print to make the cover of a book where all their work—their poetry, their sketches from the galleries—will go. For a moment, all the stamps hang on our studio walls to dry and it’s truly a sight to see—so many beautiful colors and images coming together to make a single tapestry about the students’ NYC experience, which, through this partnership, also includes the Museum.

Mused - BellaOnline Literary Review has accepted my poem, “Mounting Butterflies,” for The Winter Solstice Edition, coming out on December 21st.

This is particularly meaningful, as the magazine specializes in art by women, about women and having it featured in this publication means a lot to me.

I’ve got another poem out there in circulation. Here’s hoping for the best!
