Show While visiting the Museum, the students created a relief sculpture based on their drawings of the sculptures and masks. This activity was such a success that the students were heartbroken to leave the Museum. Tracey Vandeventer from Emerson Elementary stated, "they loved the trip especially making the masks. The only complaint. .. was not having enough time." Darby Thomas, a 4th grade student from Emerson wrote, "I enjoyed coming and visiting you it was very exciting to come. The things I liked best were drawing and clay." Chris Adams, a classmate of Darby's added his comments: "I wish I could live there because I had so much fun. Will you hire me to work there please!!!" These new approaches to tours has opened the door for more exciting adventures in preparation for the new Museum building. The plans for the new Museum include more advanced educational facilities with even a classroom for painting and other "wet" activities. By beginning hands-on activities in the present building, the education department is making this transition time enlightening and exciting. Can you wait to see what they'll "do" next? |
