The middle school students went on a field trip to the Arts Center in Troy where exhibiting artist and Parker Mom Claire Sherwood (Nora Ring, preK 4) toured the students through the gallery and talked about her work and the process she goes through to create it. After the tour, the students were given paper and charcoal pencils to work on drawings inspired by objects they had collected at Camp Chingachgook. This was a wonderful exercise in process rather than product. Each student came back to school with the beginnings of a drawing and a deeper understanding of the the steps a working artist goes through to create a work of art.
