Today was a happy field trip day. Our homeschooling group went on a tour at the Dunedin Fine Arts Museum. They had some beautiful pieces there. We lived in Pinellas County for most of my kids' lives, but we had never taken the time to go to the local museum, so I was grateful for today's opportunity (it's always more fun when you go with your friends, right?).
Here are some of the photos we liked the most from the exhibit.
The colors in this one are amazing!
We thought it was excellent how the photographer was able to capture the coral underwater, while capturing the shoreline simultaneously.
What can I say about this? Hmmm...comes to mind, LOL! This was part of the "Beauty and the Beast" exhibit - hmmm...I wonder why, LOL.
Claudia found this piece particularly amusing (it's a blowup!).
This is one of those pieces that you look at and think...art is definitely in the eye of the beholder, LOL! It's a hot, crazy mess, but's cool at the same time. I didn't take a pic of the back, but it's equally as jumbled as the front.
This piece was pretty interesting.
This was at the entrance to the kids "hands on" section - it's awesome!
This piece, I found out, was done by the summer camp kids...it was AMAZING!!
Hmmm...
This is the kids "hands on" section - they have some seriously cool stations, where the kids can be creative!
This one I threw in here, because everyone seemed to like it. There was a whole discussion about the differences between a squid and an octopus. Both have 8 arms, but octopus have rounder (more bolbus) heads and squid have more triangular, longer heads. Squid also have 2 fins and 2 tentacles, with octopus do not. So there's your short lesson for the day, hehe!
At the end of the tour, the kids got to draw on round white card stock, which were then made into their own personal badges...pretty cool!
We had a great day!!
