Local artist Martin Pate recently visited Cindy Glazier’s fifth grade social studies class at Canongate Elementary School, to show students what the Civil War and the life of a confederate soldier was like.
“The children’s reaction was extremely attentive, amazed at his incredible talent,” said Glazier. They asked “appropriately related questions pertaining to his career, length of time to paint a Civil War scene, and they were interested in the people that portrayed the men, women, and children in his paintings.”
