Another great free field trip today! The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth offers some great family fun-today was "Wonderful Wednesdays." The staff and/or a docent takes the children and their big people to see one of the peices of art. They get to learn about the art and then explore what it may mean, how it makes them feel and do some interacitve learning. Today the boys learned about a sculpture that is made of red granite. The best part about these field trips is the people we meet and they get to talk to. Today, the volunteer and education coordinator were super helpful explaining what unfamiliar words were to them. (i.e.-docent, which is a fancy word for volunteer ;) They also got to trace the a photo of the artwork and use an old fashion drill to make the same holes the sculptor used to make the peice.
