Last week the National Art Honor Society took our Winter field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the great Michelangelo and David Hockney exhibitions.  Below are some of my thoughts on the exhibit, today we will all write short reflections about what we learned and liked about the museum and share photographs we took.

My favorite things about the #Michelangelo show on our @metmuseum field trip was his mastery across different #art media & seeing his #creative process develop though various sketches-the studies are amazing! It's a great lesson for students, he put in the hours! #MetMichelangelo pic.twitter.com/W5lD2jPT8C

In Painting class we are finish our self portraits today and we are going to learn about artist David Hockney and look at his recent Portraits.  Hockney created a series of portraits using the same chair and background with a series of friends and acquaintances, well look at some of Hockney's ideas about painting and how his work evolved over the years.

We'll learn about some of the concerns of painting a full body portrait and look at the basics of anatomy.  Then we will create a full body portrait painting that will be due Friday next week.
