My research has begun!  Fifteen of my current AP students and I went on a
 field trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum on Thursday to do some 
exploring.  Students worked to help me brainstorm ideas for how my field
 trip to the Art Museum will work in the fall with my new AP classes.  
My sister majored in Painting at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and 
Design and works in the custom framing industry; she joined us as a 
chaperone and guide. 
We spent the morning casually browsing the 
Museum together.  For lunch, we ate a picnic outside, and then the 
students spent the afternoon parked in front of a painting of their 
choice working through an analysis sheet and then composing a poem 
inspired by the painting.  They will be sharing what they wrote in class
 this coming Tuesday.
