Advanced Art(Prize) Field Trip

We had a fantastic day for our trip to ArtPrize last Wednesday! The weather was beautiful, we saw a lot of great art, and the Advanced Art students from NRMS and ERMS had a chance to meet each other.

We were able to see all of the top 10. We also enjoyed a docent-led tour of the GRAM before it opened and visited the Harris Building and Calvin College's 106 Gallery. At the Harris Building, we were fortunate enough to meet the artist of a large 3D painting. He talked to us and showed us a video of his process.

Back in the classroom, we had wonderful discussions about what was in the top 10 and what should (and shouldn't!) have been in the top 10. We used this field trip to launch NorthPrize - an ArtPrize style competition that will be appearing in the front showcase next week!
