The students of Mrs. Porter's Advanced English class will be traveling to the Carnegie Museum of Art on November 17th. The students will be exploring diverse forms of artwork for the Art Inspires Narrative Writing Tour. This tradition was started three years ago on the Supernova team. With funds provided through a Canon-McMillan School District Mini Grant, the Advanced English class was able to travel to the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Mattress Factory. This year, the Sonic Boom Team and the Hurricane Team have been invited to join Mrs. Porter's Advanced English class for this cross-curricular experience.
The students will prepare for the trip by discussing symbolism in literature. Prior to the trip, the students will visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York City through an online tour. The students will participate in online activities that focus on interpretation and analysis of literature.
When the students return from the trip, they will be creating their own art and writing a narrative. Pictured above is the art installation created last year by Mrs. Porter's class.
