Art in the Archives
While researching and preparing for our art inquiry project, my group and I went to the archives to find some poems related to our chosen artist. I had personally never been up there. I learned that there are lots of one of a kind works of art (in all mediums) there. I feel dumb having been here for six years and not ever having been to the archives and utilizing the resources that are up there. The work that we found was an original small book of poems. The staff told us that there was a huge amount of material up there. I think that, while this might not be suitable for elementary students, upper level high school students would be able to get use out of this resource for their projects.

I feel dumb for never having taken a 406 class on a field trip to our own archives!!! But maybe I can fix that next year, now that you have helped me think of it and have commented to show how valuable the visit was for you.
