Museum Fun


We had such a great time visiting the Cummer Museum. Our tour guide was wonderful, she really had a nice way of posing questions that made us think deeply about the art work that we saw as we toured the gallery. But I digress...when we arrived at the museum, we first had the opportunity to do some hand on art work ourselves. We made our very own cityscape collages. We learned about background, middle ground, and foreground and how those really change the way a painting of a cityscape comes together. We then explore the hands on part of the museum, where we were able to do just that-touch everything! You'll have to ask the students about some of the funny dancing that was going on in front of the big screen-literally!
