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.
