Superstars visit Seattle Art Museum










The Superstars had a great visit to the Seattle Art Museum this week. We learned how families differed around the world. In Japan, families entertain with a tea ceremony. In France during the 1800's, family portraits didn't include smiling, it was a very serious business! Pacific NW Indians use storytelling to entertain and pass down their history. We enjoyed the bus ride to Seattle and the tour of the museum. After the tour we created our own scrolls to describe a feast the same way families in China have done in the past. Check out our pictures, I especially like the one where the children pretended to be part of an old French portrait. It was hard for them not to smile. Fieldtrips are exhausting business, the two girls curled in a ball together on the bus are sound asleep! It was a good day.
