We were fortunate to join some other homeschooling families for this rare occasion.
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is hosting a special exhibit, "Monet to Picasso" from the Cleveland Museum of Art. Hurry it's only there until September 21, 2008. Masterworks by such renowned artists as Renoir, Degas, Monet, van Gogh, Dalí, Picasso and Matisse grace the walls of the museum for this limited time. Monet to Picasso will allow you the rare opportunity to see an extraordinary gathering of work up close by some of the most important European modern masters of the last two centuries.
Ethan and Sam both enjoyed this excursion to the fine art museum. (Sierra was tired about half way through.) The museum had audio sets that we could punch a number into and then listen to a description or history of the artist or artwork, some geared towards families. It really helped make this more informative and interesting. I think we sparked some new interests in art!
