Education SCHOOLS ARE WELCOME High school and college students alike walked around the sculptures looking at details, noting the work in progress, the technique and style of each sculptor, and asking both technical and philosophical questions about the works. Students of all ages had the opportunity to view the evolving sculptures at both ground level and from the balcony overlooking the site, which fostered discussion about viewing art and life from multiple perspectives. This forum presented many opportunities for on-site conversations that were both preceded and followed up at schools in Hancock, Penobscot, and Washington counties. One of the younger students commented he had never been to an "outside museum." The Symposium committee would like to express our appreciation to those schools whose teachers and administrators made the 2007 symposium an incredible experience possible for their students. The total number of students, who participated in the 2007 Symposium from September 5 to September 10, was 253. Participating schools included: Asa C. Adams School, Orono; Ella Lewis School, Steuben; Jonesport-Beals High School, Jonesport; Peninsula School, Winter Harbor/Gouldsboro; Sumner High School, Sullivan; Cave Hill School, Eastbrook; Hancock Elementary, Hancock; Narraguagus High School, Milbridge.
