Art Adventure

It is time for our fall series of Art Adventure.  Each year, parent volunteers study and learn about pieces of art held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.  They then share those pieces using picture boards, photos, replicas and hands on artifacts to explain the art piece to the children.  It never ceases to amaze me how insightful and interested 5 and 6 year olds are when presented a piece of art and some interesting information!
Students learn about a transforming animal mask

We will have three more presentations before this series is completed.  Each child gets a chance during grades 3-5 to visit the Minneapolis Institute of Art.  Their favorite thing is seeing the real pieces they have studied in school!
