The RKYHS studio art class was so inspired at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The class had the opportunity to view and appreciate art from each of the historical periods they have studied this year. They began in Egyptian art marveling at the ancient artifacts and moved on to explore Greek and Roman art in all its splendor. The students reveled in the illustrative detail of Medieval and Gothic art, including an illuminated siddur and Haggadah, written in Hebrew, dating back to the 1400s. The trip also visited the Renaissance period, Impressionism, which was the much anticipated highlight for the students, and a tour of the modern art galleries. The comprehensive trip enabled the students to reflect upon the journey art has taken through the centuries and gave them a deeper appreciation for art.
