Celebrate Creativity Workshop field trip at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha
We are pleased to announce that all 7th and 8th grade art students were able to attend this year’s “Celebrate Creativity” workshop in Omaha, NE on Friday, October 28, 2016. This exciting program is offered through the Omaha Symphony in collaboration with the Joslyn Art Museum. This was an all-day event. As the opening of the day students attended creative workshops ranging anywhere from acting to hip hop. Learners also received a docent led tour of the Joslyn Art Museum. An interactive concert with the Omaha Symphony concluded our visit. This was a special opportunity that impacted the minds of our young artists. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives and teach that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. More information about “Celebrate Creativity” can be found online:
www.omahasymphony.org/education/schools-and-educators/celebrate-creativity/
The following essay excerpts provide a glimpse of the “Celebrate Creativity” experience
“My favorite workshop would obviously be “Frightful Art!”. This workshop (which is about theatre make-up and special effects) is my favorite because it was very different from the things I do at school on a daily basis. There were also many different components that I enjoyed. For example, small touches like eating the homemade fake blood (which was edible) and the instructor telling us what our wounds look like. (I looked like I was scratched by a werewolf with two claws.) My overall experience was amazing! I learned that I actually enjoy the symphony. I learned to dance to a musical. I sincerely hope that this trip will happen again next year so that I and others can enjoy it again.” - Gracie- 7th grade
“My experience was great! It was like riding a bicycle for the first time…excellent!” – Gage – 7th grade
“My tour was Dirt Meridian – The Photographs of Andrew Moore. My favorite art work on the tour was Yellow Porchby Andrew Moore. The way he took the picture is interesting. It is a picture of an abandoned house but the main reason, if you can’t tell from the title, is that the old and dull house has a bright yellow porch. I really liked how it looked because he took it when the sun was shining on the yellow porch” – Donovan – 8th grade
“My favorite work shop was food photos. I had an experimental time making photos from food. The teacher felt emotional about photography. I had an amazing group of people who were polite. Making the photos were fun because you could experiment with food. The chocolate syrup would become dark (on the photo paper) and the honey would make the photo white. This is why food photos was my favorite work shop and I highly recommend it for others. My experience at the Joslyn was an eye opening one. I had not realized so many people are extremely passionate about art. It also struck me that there are many different types of art. I did not think that dancing, band, or even food could be art. I enjoyed what I saw at the symphony. My tour guide had lots of energy and the tour enjoyable. My overall experience was astonishing. ” – Katilyn – 8th grade
