Oceanside art students visit the Whitney Museum

Oceanside High School art teachers Kathryn Thiel and Nanci Nigro led a field trip of students in Cartooning and Photo III classes to visit the Whitney Museum in New York City. The students saw several exhibits, including stand-outs Edges of Ailey and Wanda Gag’s World. The Edges of Ailey exhibit brings together visual art, live performance, music, a range of archival materials, and a multi-screen video installation to celebrate the life, influences, and artistry of legendary choreographer Alvin Ailey.

Wanda Gag’s World presents a selection of prints by the artist, illustrator, and children’s book author Wanda Gág (1893–1946). The students also enjoyed a walk on the High Line before heading back to Oceanside.
