If you missed it, tours are given on a regular basis. I am sure that if you call Helene she would be happy to let you know when the next one is scheduled.

I am learning so much from you and from the students. Even though the focus of the tour is landscapes, please feel free to make comparisons to portraits, stili lifes or what ever else you see. · I want to share the following quote with all of you which comes from the Denver Art Museum's exhibit on PLACES (an exhibit of Landscapes) "Many landscape artists rely on our imaginations to pick up on the sensual elements of their works-- the sounds of the leaves rustling, the feel of an ocean breeze, the warm sun on bare skin. Landscape artists even have the power to shape our notions of beauty: How many of us have marveled at a place that reminded us of a great work of art?" Is it possible that 4th graders will now look at the Great Salt Lake or the Wasatch Mountains and say, "This reminds me of a painting I saw at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts." Just a thought. Rebecca HELP!!!! Several members of Thursday's team have developed minor health problems that have sidetracked them. On November 4 there will be 79 students -- so if you can help out please sign up on the board. @] i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i I~ ii.;;; I!] |
