Yes we took a field trip today. My local homeschool group took a trip to an art museum in Memphis and the IMAX theater.
The art museum featured the art of Babar the Elephant. Poogie really liked it. It was cool how the artist took famous paintings and did them using Babar with watercolor and ink (for example he did Whistler,s Grandmother using Babar).
TT liked looking at the American Impressionist collection. He was amazed by the layers of paint and how those crazy looking brush strokes made up a picture of something. I was really amazed how interested and how much TT liked the paintings. We even saw two Monet's and a Degas.
The IMAX experience was our first, but won't be our last. The film was of the Deep Sea. It was awesome. I can't believe we've never been to one.
OH, and just to share my joy, a little family information! Poogie decided to return to ballet class! We went tonight to sign her up and get her shoes. She is excited and so am I. I love to watch her dance. Now if I could only find some reasonable art lessons for TT. Till next time.
