2nd Grade Field Trip

This week our 2nd and 4th grades visited the Peninsula Fine Arts Center in Newport News where a wonderful exhibit titled "50 Great American Artists" is on display.  We saw artworks made by Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell, and Chuck Close...just to name a few.  Our docents were very knowledgeable and guided our students through the galleries asking them thought-provoking questions and asking for opinions about what they saw in the various pieces.  

Mr. Bill Hobler, our docent, guides the 2nd graders through a discussion of abstract vs. realistic art.
