A trip to the Albright Knox!

We are now able to add photographs to the blog! Stay tuned to your child's interactive learning through our first expedition "Are We Missing the Boat?" Last week we focused on the various daredevils that have done stunts over Niagara Falls. The children investigated a daredevil and created a section to add to the timeline of daredevil starting in 1827 up until 1995! Ask your child who was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel? Hint: It was a woman!
This week we are focusing on the attractions on the United States side of the border. Each child chose their attraction of choice and will be creating a travel brochure that will then be digitally created. The final project will then be donated to the NCCC Culinary Institute Tourism Center for various tourist to use while visiting the Niagara Falls area. Some attractions include the Helicopter Ride, Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Discovery Center, Aquarium of Niagara, Whirlpool Jet Boats, Old Fort Niagara, and many more.

Albright Knox Art Museum

Last Wednesday, we were able to partake in a great learning experience with Mr. Reynolds our school art teacher. We were led by docents who allowed us to discover and analyze the artwork around us! We even got to experience the new exhibit "VideoSphere!"

Sculpture outside the museum pointing to the sky! Human bodies on top of one another shoulders

VideoSphere exhibit!

Architectural molding done outside of the museum!

Andy Warhol "100 Soup Cans" -Not one can is the same! So neat!

Blinking eyes and mouth moving at the same time! Creepy!

Ask your child about their experience at the Albright Knox Museum! They saw and experienced various forms of art!
