As part of the freshman World History class, the 9th graders went to the Minneapolis Institute of Art to look at the art, and also to find out how Greek and Roman history connects to it. They took notes about what they saw on the different paintings and how they relate to what they learn in history. After getting the chance to see the art up close, they noticed more things than they could just sitting in class. Freshman Mollie Kelderman, says, “I noticed that there was a lot of art that was falling apart, and I noticed a lot of sculptures of their gods and goddesses, because they valued them.” Mollie also noticed that their art was what Greeks and Romans valued in their culture. John Erickson, a freshman, says, “We appreciated this field trip both for learning and for the values.” Freshman Connor Bartz says, “It helped me get a broad overview of the art that we learned in class." To conclude, Mollie stated, “We got to see the art and not just imagine what it looked like, and we got to go places and experience things, and not just hear things.”
