Towson Presbyterian : Field trip to the Baltimore Museum of Art

After the butterfly release, the kids returned to their room to discuss some do's and dont's relative to the Museum.   They discussed Matisse and some pieces of art t hat they should be looking for.


Maurine and Grace were the door holders for everyone to get to the bus.




I was lucky enough to sit with both boys on the way to the museum.  The bus driver opted to take the route that we always take to and from Towson Presbyterian.  As such, we drove by our street.  Jackson was giving everyone that would listen the location of his favorite spots.  He also explained how to get to "daddy's" city. We've tried to explain to Jackson that it is his city too but he likes to identify it as Michael's.


We entered the museum and were excited to see some art.


We spent a good bit of time walking around checking out all of the artwork made by fellow school children.  They were amazed at all of the creations.  Ms. Burton was pointing out materials used and how the kids had used similar materials at school.









Both boys did an Earth painting earlier this year and were so excited to see this larger version.


For the girls, we found the dancer.



The boys were fascinated by these rings.


Walking through the beads was another item on the kids' list of things to see.


This sculpture in the contemporary section definitely caught all of the kids' attention. 


This photo of Connor observing the hanging man may have been the best one that we took all day!


The flowers were also on our list of items to find.



The skinny man was next up on our list of pieces to find.


The group.


Before heading out to the sculpture garden, we finally spotted the thinking man.



There were snacks in the gardens along with sculptures to observe.


One last picture before we were back on the bus after a beautiful day exploring the Baltimore Museum of Art.
