Field Trip To The CMA

On Thursday, our class took a field trip to The Cleveland Museum of Art.  In two groups, docents Lara Mullen & Vicki Bell led our class through the galleries of The CMA.  Our tour included nine different pieces of art which we inquired about, described, and discussed.  Making great connections to our current IB Unit Of Inquiry, “How We Express Ourselves”, the docents shared the stories behind each piece of art. 
Thank you to Amy McConnor, Jenny Eppich, & Todd Wilson for chaperoning our field trip!


Here are the pieces of art that we saw during our visit to the CMA:

The Monkey and the Cat by Abraham Hondius

Coffin of Nesykhonsu

Leopard Caryatid Stool

Saluting Protective Spirit
Maine Coast by Rockwell Kent
The Sleeping Faun by Harriet Hosmer
Interior with and Etruscan Vase by Henri Matisse

The Poplars at St. Remy by Vincent van Gogh

It was a fabulous trip!
St. Peter Repentant by Georges de La Tour
