Today we viewed Pre-Columbian functional art. Each piece of art was created before Christopher Columbus came to the Americas. These works of art each served a purpose.
As we created our own vessels out of clay, I enjoyed observing you all in action! I was so very impressed with your vessel details...the legs, the heads and the handles. I loved Dylan's long necked vessel...so creative!
Please share some interesting facts that you learned from Ms. Claudia and your feelings about the day!
My favorite part of the day was watching you all work with the clay! I loved watching you all make additions to your vessels that looked like the Pre-Columbian Art! I am glad that I made a pot so I could experience how difficult it can be to work with clay!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ms. Papadakes my favorite part was using the clay and I didn't no I was that hard to do all that stuff.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was when we got to sketch the pots.And when we got to work with clay
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was when we saw the lama rug and making clay sculptures. It was fun when we looked at the wooden art bowls. These were my favorite parts.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you. Still I loved The Light Inside when it was purple I felt magical and in outer space but when it was blue I felt underwater. I did like making the pot too mine is a turtle which look very big with a smile:) and I just thought that it was amazing and fun. I also liked Ms. Claudia for some reason she looks like my babysitter which I thought was cool. But my favorite thing in The Museum of Fine arts today was the llama painting I thought it was cool that you could make a painting with feathers and I wonder how the feathers got there color? but I heard a lot of different answers and they were very good, anyway it was my first time out of the two trips to see the Museum of FIne Arts I think that was the best Field Trip EVER!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great experience! What I thought was very interesting was that this art was made 1000 years ago!
ReplyDeleteI think the tour was very interesting. I learned that pre columbian means before columbus and that there was a gold called pre columbian gold. At the end of the day when we got to make the pots it was a lot harder than it looks and before they would make ones that were alot harder and better without the resorses that we have so I thought that was the most innteresting part of the day to me.
ReplyDelete=D If it was the top three best what we saw or did today would be; NUMBER THREE The vassils, NUMBER TWO The Light Inside, AND NUMBER ONE Making the vassils. Today and last week i had a great time at the mueseum, and I might go some other time because it was a work of art. =D
ReplyDeleteI did not know people used gold (BUTTER!!!) back then.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing was making the vessels . It was really cool watching Ms. Claudia when she was teaching us how to do it. It was really hard using the clay. But I figured out a trick at the end if you work with the clay it well work with you.
ReplyDeleteI loved the under ground tunnel called The Light Inside because I felt different for each color and you could just EXPLORE with your IMAGINATION!!! I also thought that the feather art was cool because Claudia would make us think about it and find out what it was made of, how they made it, and what the picture was made for (like massages). and I liked the pictures that were made of dots because if you were far away from it you would just see a regular painting but if you came closer you wold start seeing that it was dots. I liked doing the clay step by step with Ms. Claudia. And I liked doing the paintings the first time we went. I really enjoyed our tour guide Ms. Claudia because she taught us a lot and made us think about all the things that a painting was made of and so on. I really liked this field trip and hope I go back to The Museum of Fine Arts agin!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed our trip to The Museum of Fine Arts I loved learning about the art here are some things I learned
ReplyDelete1. I didn't know what a characteristic was until Ms. Claudia told us.
2. I thought that pre- Colombian art meant it was made before there was a colombia not that it was made before Christopher Columbus discovered The USA.
Here are some of my favorite art pieces I saw.
1. I loved the one that was made out of feathers and was decorated with lamas.
2. I just couldn't choose a favorite when I saw the pottery they were all so great,but I really liked the tripod ones. But my most favorite art work was the tunnel, the light inside. I really liked doing the pottery it was harder than it looked I did a bear themed pot.
I'm really sad its our last trip but I had the best time ever!
It was interesting to learn that pre-Columbian means before Christopher Columbus! I really enjoyed it when we made vessels out of clay. I did not know how hard it is to sculpt until today. The people that sculpted back then must have been really talented!
ReplyDeleteI learned That a pot could be a tripod.
ReplyDeleteWow I learned a lot
ReplyDelete1.that a tripod means 3 feet
2.I also learned that pre-Colombian means before Cristiphor Columbus.
3. My favorite part was making the clay pots and it's not easy but it looks easy.
One thing I learned was that they had to turn out the lights when someone wasn't in there because the art was so old and delicate. And I also learned that people made stuff out of feathers. That was so fun and interesting, I wish I could go agin.
