Last weekend, Mrs. Clements's AP Art History class from CDA Flower Mound visited the Dallas Museum of Art. Students walked through the Indigenous American, African, and Oceanic galleries as they discussed particulars of roughly 20 works complimentary to those they are learning about in class.
In addition, students had a chance to independently explore other sections of the museum, choose favorite works, and write about why these works spoke to them as such. A few students even chose to remain at the DMA after the formal trip concluded, just to see the other various art the museum affords.
The students enjoyed seeing art "come to life" at the museum in ways that simply cannot be expressed in textbooks or online. And, in typical CDA fashion, they represented our school so very well!
