week of 3/1

A.) The SDMA has a wide collection of art, which represents a large range of time periods. As a museum it exposes the public to intricate art pieces. I enjoyed the appearance of sculptural art as well as paintings and photographs. The gold sculpture was particularly interesting, having multiple body parts.  I was greatly intrigued with the history behind the gold sculpture. 

B.) Many schools do not have extra funding to use on field trips. If museums are willing to give free tours and admittance, the museums are accessible to all elementary and secondary schools. Yet, the museums may be too highly priced for every student to be able to use as a viable resource. The museums frequently have new exhibits and can enhance every education. If students are guided through the museum they are showed the different techniques and mediums used throughout the museum.
Without the help of a tour guide, students may not receive as enhanced of an experience compared to a guided tour. The museum has hidden information that I personally did not notice until a visit with a guided tour.
