Art Museum Field Trip (again)

Because Leo is in the combo class with the second graders, he got to repeat the art museum field trip he did last year.  The art project, exhibits and docents were all different so it was nice to visit again and experience different things.  

We loaded the bus right after school started.  

 We got to the museum two hours before it opened to the public.

 Leo's group got to do the art project first.  This year they made mandalas.

 His turned out pretty cool.

 Then it was on to look at some art work.  All the kids had lots of questions and comments on the art.

 The museum currently has a large Ansel Adams exhibit on loan.  Apparently I wasn't supposed to take any pictures in this room but I didn't learn that until after I snapped this one.  That is one of Adams cameras in the middle of the room.

 The final piece we saw was a large sculpture by Diana Al-Hadid.  We didn't get a chance to see too many pieces or stay too long at any one exhibit but we got a certificate to visit the museum again for free and Leo said he wants to go back.

 A nice group shot out front before getting on the bus.

 And a silly face one.

We were back at the school before noon.  It was a quick, easy field trip but it still wore me out.
