5 Blocks

After Camden's soccer game and lunch, we went up to enjoy the free day at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts.  One of the exhibits they had on display was 5 Blocks.  It showed how high school students from Granger High worked in collaboration with UMFA educators to show "how we shape the spaces we live in and how those spaces shape us."  They explored 5 blocks around their school and created wire sculptures of their neighborhood.

There was also a free art activity for families inspired by 5 Blocks that Camden tried.  He drew a picture, made a wire sculpture from that picture, and then placed it on top.  He shaped the wire, but I ended up doing almost all of the twisting.  It was rough on the fingers!

When I asked  him which painting was his favorite, he guided us back through the museum and pointed to this one from the Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West exhibit.  He told me hid didn't touch the painting, just got really close to it.
