Today we enjoyed a Field Trip to the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia. The tour was a whirlwind because we were supposed to concentrate on only 5 pieces of art and then the kids are supposed to pick one and write a story or poem relating to that one piece of art. We had never visitied that museum before, so it was good to see some of it and we will go back when we can stay longer.
There is a writing contest in conjunction with these 5 pieces of artwork that my kids will be entering. Maybe they will win something...there are small cash prizes. But both of them like writing and they like art, so this is going to be a neat combination of both.
If you are around the Augusta area, the Morris Museum of Art is FREE on Sundays and they usually have fun, FREE activities about every other Sunday (art, ornament making, etc. are coming up). If you are intersted in the writing contest, it is called Combining Voices Writing Contest, see the info at their website...you do NOT have to visit the Museum to enter, but I believe you have to live in the area and be in grades 3-12 (public, private, or homechool). Maybe I'll post their poems or stories when they are done.
