CMA: Relics, Maniscripts and Armor.

1/14/2011

Today all 7th graders at BMS attended the Cleveland Art Museum to see the special exhibits "Treasures of Heaven: Saints, Relics, and Devotion in Medieval Europe". They also had time to visit Armor Court an the Medieval Manuscripts. One students used my camera and here are a few photos. I believe the kids had a great time and learned a great deal. I hope a few students add some comments about the trip. I hope student's had a great time.

I like the swords and books because it must have taken years to make them

I thought the paintings were pretty cool because whoever painted them must have had a lot of talent and must have spent so much time on the paintings. Glad we could go.

That field trip was so much fun. I'm glad we got to go and see the amazing things there. My favorite was probably the books. They were so beautiful. Thanks for taking us Mr. Holman.

Going to the Art Museum was like a "pop-field-trip"! It was oo fun and so cool! I loved the Paintings alittle, my favorite things were in the Armor court. Armor Court was so cool... It is amazing to think that REAL soldiers who FOUGHT back then in a REAL OLD-TIME horseback war actaully wore those makes it even more interesting. I love imagining that I was there in those times every time I read about or see a piece of history. Sometimes I think I was there in another life or something! It is soo cool and thank you so much for taking us Mr. Holman! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN and for anybody who is reading this, from another school or something, you should tell your S.S. teacher to take you guys on a field trip to the art museum.. better yet, the history museum. My favorite two parts in history are The revolutionary War and The Titanic incident.
