Au Musée Des Beaux-Arts
Authored By:
This week's theme is creativity, so in class students are talking about film, art, and music with their teachers. Today's activity to the art musuem in Rennes was a perfect chance for students to explore art.
Students were free to explore the museum, but had to take a photo of their favorite work of art and describe it (in French of course!) to a Program Leader. Students had all sorts of favorite works of art and a few even recognized some of the artists that had works exhibited.
The museum has a variety of collections from classical paintings to archeology to Islamic art. There are even Egyptian mummies including a mummy of a cat!
A unique piece that many students liked was the Valerie's Snack Bar interactive exhibit by British artist Jeremy Deller. It was a replica of a typical British snack bar from the 80's and students could get free coffee, tea or the very French water and grenadine or mint syrup. It's a great example of living, interactive art.
Our Global Navigators will have a lot to talk about in class tomorrow!
