Congratulations to Ms. Thomas’ art classes
Lovejoy's art teacher, Juliana Thomas, was pleased to accept the generous grant from the High Museum’ s ‘Art Access’ program to visit the museum and see the once-in-a-lifetime exhibit, "Leonardo Da Vinci, Hand of Genius." Students also had the opportunity to attend, "Genius at Work!” a theatrical performance created as a tour enhancement to the Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius exhibition. During this performance, students learned about Leonardo's life, work, and creative process as they tried out to be one of his apprentices.
The Grant procedure consisted of writing an essay on how Lovejoy Students will benefit from the exhibit. The all-inclusive field trip program, Art Access, provides: free admission to the High Museum and Art for students and required chaperones; payment of school bus transportation invoice, if requested; free teacher resources, and “Welcome Back” cards for all participating students.
