The NY Metropolitan Museum has an exhibit of art by NYC schoolchildren: [https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2018/ps-art-2018](https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2018/ps-art-2018). Unfortunately, his is the 46th picture on the web site. But if you care hit the right button 46 times. It is titled “Sphere” by Jacob White, grade 4. ---

Cool. Your grandson is a budding minimalist. (I see there is also a work by Tenzi Seldon, who I presume is no relation.😉 But I can’t resist quoting Stephen Wright: > [@](#): > > One time I went to a museum where all the work in the museum had been done by children. They had all the paintings up on refrigerators. ---

When I went to the Met three years ago with my daughter and her family, he took along a sketchbook and spent an hour in the sculpture garden sketching one statue. People stopped and watched this 7 yo doing this. ---

Hey! MY art teacher didn’t let me use an eraser to draw! :mad: I like it, although I must say I’m not really getting the loneliness of the sphere. Maybe it’s a happier sphere now it’s been shared? ---

Impressive! The only exhibition I could do at the Met would get me arrested. And laughed at. ---

Send my congratulations to Jacob! I am quite impressed with his art. I did feel the darkness and loneliness of the sphere when I was looking at it.
