This fall, our PCM 4th graders were able to visit the Des Moines Art Center and Pappajohn Sculpture Park (transportation paid for by the Des Moines Art Center - so PLEASE visit the art center as a family, and while you're there, tell them what a WONDERFUL thing they are doing by providing the opportunity for these kids to take a field trip there). I recently read a Huffington Post article about the benefit of just ONE trip to an art museum - seeing the actual artwork of Keith Haring, John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper, or Georgia O'Keefe - the one they actually touched with their own hands, and not just a reproduction - is something really special, and it's all right there in Des Moines!
