Field Trip Feature

While not venturing as far as the 8th grade last month, other grades continue to hold their own on the travel front:

  • French 3 with Mamadou headed to the National Gallery to present their expertise on 19th century Impressionist masterworks alongside the real pieces
  • US History with Curtis headed the National Museum of American History to learn about lowriders and their connection to Mexican-American history and culture (pictured with "Gypsy Rose," a 1964 Chevy Impala handpainted by Jesse Valadez)
  • Advanced Art History with Maureen visited Visions, selections from the permanent collection, and We are Here, an exhibit of contemporary LGBTQ artists exploring pride and belonging on the continent, at the Museum of African Art
Milo reports that the 6th grade's DC Ward Project continues apace with a recent visit to the National Shrine at Catholic University. They took a docent-led tour of the Basilica in order to learn about the stories behind the architecture and see a monument from Ward 5 firsthand; their project will then include a description of how religion plays a role in the lives of people from all over DC.
