National Museum of African Art Field Trip

In late September, students had the opportunity to visit the National Museum of African Art to view a variety of African art pieces and museum labels. They sketched artifacts and copied labels they felt were particularly effective.

One of the highlights of the museum's current exhibits was the reflecting pool of water that the kids could splash their hands in as they watched the way the water's movement changed the projected light.

We were lucky to have beautiful weather for our trip.

Students gathered in the museum's lobby before exploring the exhibits.
