Field Trip: Guggenheim Museum, Feb. 7, 2011

Picture
When: Monday, February 7th, 10:00-12:30
We will leave school promptly at 9:00 am to make it for the 10:00 tour! (8:55 if possible!)

Where: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue at 89th Street

What: We will be participating in a program related to their new exhibition that opens on February 4th, The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910-1918. During this interactive 2.5-hour program, the students will explore various aspects of the new exhibit, with a focus on the birth of abstract art and the use of shape and color in abstract art. Following the thematic gallery tour, the students will participate in a studio experience to explore the three-dimensional qualities of clay and integrate key concepts about abstraction and figuration from the exhibitions. This is a very exciting opportunity to synthesize some of our classroom learning!

Exhibit abstract: “Displaying over one hundred paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, The Great Upheaval: Modern Art from the Guggenheim Collection, 1910-1918 explores the simultaneity of artistic phenomenon across national borders and the increasing breakdown of representational elements in favor of abstraction. Artists including Georges Braque, Umberto Boccioni, Robert Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Kandinsky, Fernand Léger, Kazimir Malevich, Franz Marc, Piet Mondrian, and Picasso provide ample evidence of the richness and complexity of production during these pivotal years leading up to World War I.”

Price: Free (Funded by a DonorsChoose grant.)

Transportation: We will travel to and from the museum by subway.  We will take the E train from 23rd Street, and then transfer to the 6 train to 86th Street. 

Chaperones: I would like to have four parent chaperones, if possible, for this trip.  The subway transfer, in particular, is pretty crazy at Lexington Avenue in the morning, and I would appreciate all hands on deck for that part. The return trip midday is usually a lot calmer, so if UES chaperones can’t make it back down to the school, that is workable.

Lunch: Unfortunately, the Guggenheim does not have dining facilities.  That will mean hungry-cranky kids, but they’ll have to wait until we make it back to school to eat their lunches.  I am planning on giving the children a snack before we enter the museum and then after we leave the museum to tide them over.  Please send me an email if you can donate a healthy and portable snack for the class that they can eat on the go. (I’m thinking pretzel rods or granola bars or something along those lines.)  Thanks …
