On Friday the second grade classes took a field trip to Doylestown to visit the James Michener Museum of Art. In class groups, each led by a docent, they learned how pieces of art can tell stories. They looked at murals, furniture and even a very large door! This story themed gallery exploration ties in with our year-long theme of story and inspired the children to create their own stories about what could be happening in a painting. They also were given portraits and were asked to find paintings that they thought their person could be part of and shared their reasoning for why they thought they went together. Their ideas were clever and full of imagination!
