Students of Art and the Subway

          What a busy and warm afternoon! After the Fifth Avenue browsing, we continued moving up the East Side toward the museums.
          We happened upon a video game store right next door to our lunch venue. From there, we were welcomed to the Met by our enthusiastic docent, Meg. She was impressed with our students knowledge of art history and their eagerness to participate. Below, you'll see photos of the students learning about Jackson Pollack and El Greco.
          We spent over an hour wandering the Met after our tour. The students were fascinated by actual Egyptian structural ruins, Medieval suits of armor, and African masks.
          At the Guggenheim, the students explored more contemporary art than what we saw at the Met. Some were surprised to see an entire Kandinsky collection, which they recalled learning about in Hebrew.
          On our way to the Knicks game, we stopped in at Grand Central Station during rush hour. Our students had the chance to display their ability to navigate crowded subway terminals and train changes at the end of a workday in Midtown Manhattan!
          Please enjoy the photos taken moments ago at the basketball game at Madison Square Garden.
