Mrs. Colussy just returned from her trip to Japan

As we all know, Mrs. Colussy just returned from her trip to Japan. It must have been an extraordinary trip because the students went to many different places as well as got to experience much of the culture! Places they visited included:
Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, as well as the Harajuku shopping district! How exciting to shop there! They also got to experience the country and its culture by going to the temples, fish markets, had a kodak moment with Buddah, a kimono fashion show, markets, and took a cruise on Lake Hakone.
Lauren Elizabeth Stone-Kop, one of the attending students quoted, "A good experience. I am happy I went before I got out of school. The culture was beautiful and totally different. Its just lovely."

The Norton Museum of Art exhibitions

Organized by the Norton Museum of Art, Georgia O'Keeffe: Circling Around Abstraction is the first exhibition to highlight this renowned American painter's individual approach to the issue of abstraction, a stylistic strategy which in many ways preoccupied artists throughout the 20th century.

Rare Bird of Fashion The Irreverent Iris Apfel
February 25 through May 27, 2007
An American original in the truest sense, Iris Apfel is one of the most vivacious personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design. She has cultivated
a personal style that is both witty and exuberantly idiosyncratic. With remarkable panache and discernment, she combines colors, textures, and patterns without regard to period, provenance, and ultimately, aesthetic conventions.
