Visiting the High Museum

Our fifth-grade students recently enjoyed seeing the artwork of Harlem Renaissance artist Romare Bearden at the High Museum of Art. 

Estefany, Mayra, and Marissa report on the following event:

On February 8, 2005 the fifth grade of J. H. House Elementary School went on a fabulous field trip to The High Museum of Art. On our way to the museum we saw the Capital of Atlanta. Even though the trip was long, we finally arrived. As we entered the building we saw a beautiful statue. We than entered the Museum. The line was so long, but we were all too very excited that we didn’t even notice. Many students noticed the shapes in the collages. Libby Bradford told us that the music in the audio tour was very “jazzy”. Some of the art had trains as symbols of the migration of African Americans to the north. The biggest piece of art we saw was called “Berkeley--The City and it’s People”. The artwork was so beautiful that we wanted to touch it and scream with joy But, we couldn’t. As we left the exhibition and made our way to lunch we went down a really tiring ramp/ walk-way. Finally, we got into the lunch area in the Woodruff Arts Center. The food was delicious and had come from The Corner Bakery. We all want to thank The High Museum of Art. It was very nice of them to let us have a free tour of the Art museum.

Students and teachers, please share some more of your favorite highlights of the trip.

As a chaperone at the High Museum I would like to comment on what a wonderful group of fifth graders we have at JHH! Everyone was so well behaved and respectful. It was a great trip. Thanks to Mrs. Anthos for putting it all together!
