“Let’s ponder art”
Every Art Foundations class takes a field trip to an art museum for an enriching afternoon of allowing art-ignorant college students to wander around a massive building full of paintings and sculptures, abstract and simple, exhibits and demonstrations. They wonder around this magnificent edifice and are exposed to culture until their heads spin. I had that opportunity last Friday, when my class piled into a bus and headed to the Toledo Museum of Art.
To be honest, this isn’t how I typically enjoy spending my Friday afternoons, but it ended up being a lot of fun! Rachelle, my “art buddy,” and I spent the time wandering the halls observing and reflecting on the different art forms we experienced. We sat in on a glass-blowing demonstration, and enjoyed walking around the displays shown in different time periods throughout the museum. My favorite thing about the entire day? When Rachelle and I took time to “ponder art” and take pictures of ourselves “pondering art.” So much fun! The field trip included lunch, the ride down to the museum, the entrance tickets, and a very pleasant afternoon. The field trip cost was included in the initial cost of the course! And people say that Gen Ed classes aren’t enjoyable…
