FALLS VILLAGE — Young artists and their families came to the David M. Hunt Library Saturday morning, Jan. 28, to see the latest art show, “Birds of the World.”

The paintings, drawings and sculptures were done by the emerging artists of the Lee H. Kellogg School by students from Kindergarten to grade 8, under the guidance of art teacher Susana Martinez-Bauer

One of the rules was that everybody had to do a different bird. Eli Sher said he looked far and wide before settling on the long-billed curlew.

The show will remain on display through March 3.
