Clara H. Carlson School second graders recently participated in a “My Museum” in-school field trip with the Heckscher Museum of Art.
Students discussed why museums are important and why people visit them, and shared what museums they have visited themselves with the visiting educators from the museum.
The students also learned about different art styles, such as portrait, landscape and sculpture.
Each student then designed and created their own museum based on their chosen interest. They designed and drew the front doors, as well as in the inside.
This partnership with the Heckscher Museum of Art was a district-wide initiative to provide students with art education.
