Students visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
Students in Advanced Art, AP Art History, AP Drawing and Latin visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston on March 27th. Some students went on a guided tour that focused on several different works of art made from a variety of media and from a variety of time periods and places. The docents engaged the students in meaningful conversations that related to identity, culture, artistic expression and visual stories. All were impressed by the power of Turner’s Slave Ship. Magistra Allen’s students also worked to complete a scavenger hunt in Latin about different works of art in the Egyption, Greek, and Roman sections of the museum. Students also had some time to explore the exhibits on their own, and during this time the art students had the opportunity to sketch inspiring works of art.
