During our January trip to NYC, we each picked a special thing to do - Harry's dream was to see
Van Gogh's Starry Night, which he had been studying in his art class. We tried the
MoMA Family Programs which focus on certain aspects of their collections (and it is FREE!) - we lucked into a lesson on "lines" and joined a nice group of 4 other families to take in some classics.
The boys couldn't resist the chance to be silly while waiting our turn
First up was Harry's favorite - what a wonderful opportunity for him to see the real deal that he had been learning about in school.
Each person was encouraged to recreate the lines that resonated with them
Harry titled his drawing "Strait Liner by Harry" (and really did enjoy it, despite this expression)
He thoroughly enjoyed the lively discussion and introducing Dean to his favorite painting (so far)
Pablo Picasso's
Girl before a Mirror was the second stop on our tour and had Jack making observations and asking questions
We saw so many different artists and started a few interesting discussions
This was the best 'find' of the trip - and it all started with Harry's experiences in art back in our little hometown!
