AP Studio & Portfolio students begin the ARC program

On Oct. 14, students in Ms. Holliday's 10th bell class went on a field trip to the Taft Museum of Art to begin the ARC program (http://www.taftmuseum.org/pages/arc.php). This program will allow students multiple learning opportunities through exposure to the artwork in the collection at the Taft Museum as well as interaction with local contemporary working artists. On our first trip, we toured the museum to view the artwork and learn about the history of the building. Next, students will choose a single artwork in the museum to do a creative presentation on during our next visit, late November (I hear that one the subjects of a portrait painting there, may soon have a MySpace page!). We are also looking forward to our first classroom visit by artist Troy Brown earlier in November! Stay tuned on this Blog for more happenings with the ARC program at PHS.

Here is a photo on the way back from our trip, on the bus, bellies full of Chipotle!
