Field Trip: The High Museum of Art

Today we took our first official field trip to The High Museum of Art. We got there a little early, so there was plenty of time to play on this art installation. They spin!

I love how E makes instant friends with just about anyone. He came home talking about how he had made friends with these kids (but has no idea who they are)!





Checking out the log bench. He thought that was so weird.



Part of the homeschool day activities involved keeping tally on all the pigeons in the museum. There were a lot.....

We also had the pleasure of E's Mawmaw joining us on our adventure!


Learning to draw the pigeon!



This was a painting that had two suns...he thought it was a Star Wars painting of Tatooine. Very intrigued, this one made him.


Gathering with the other Roswell PEACH kids while Miss. Lisa helped us appreciate the art. She had the kids sit and observe all the art in a single room, then they would go stand in front of their favorite and would tell why they liked it. So glad to have a friend who has a degree in art!



E's choice in this room.



A special exhibit for kids - hence the child-height art.



Reading the books with the artist's work in them.



R's cameo...



After all that art appreciation, we were really hungry! Enjoyed a nice picnic outside while enjoying the peach and pear sculptures that fascinated E.



After we came home, E still had some work to do. Reading was on the list, of course!
