Art_Trip to the BMA

The fourth graders enjoyed a special trip to the BMA to look at all kinds of African Art. We had excellent docents and a welcome visit from the Director, Chris Bedford, himself! He told the girls about the importance of collecting art from around the world and having FREE admission to make art accessible for all. The girls took notes in their art sketchbooks looking at objects, designs, and various uses of natural resources from the regions. Ask your daughter what she learned about the people and the places in Africa from their art!









We also saw the work of Mark Bradford in the contemporary wing. His large sculptural forms and huge paintings inspired many of our young artists. Here is the write up of his "Cosmic Paintings".
