Art Museum field trip

Today Leo's class visited the San Jose Museum of Art.  He visited as a second grader and again as a third grader.  We've been a couple of times on our own as well.  

Serafina didn't do this field trip last year because the second grade teachers decided the risk of getting a grumpy docent was too high and weren't willing to take the gamble.  

We had museum teachers for this field trip and they were great.  We only looked at a few works but it gave the kids an opportunity to really examine and discuss the art.  

Here's a neon piece that started off the field trip.  

 They also explored an exhibit of photographs and writings from Vietnam.

 It was super cool.

 Then they got to make their own art piece.

 It was supposed to be a four quadrant representation of a movement they do regularly.  Some kids did "Jump" or "Walk" or "Run".  Leo did "skis".
