Art in Bloom

Marina and I have been wanting to see the In Bloom exhibit at the Art Museum for a while now. Today we finally decided to go.

When we arrived at the Art Museum, Marina immediately wanted to go to the interactive studio. She was immediately interested in the drawing station, where she drew a rose. She also used watercolors and chatted the lady painting next to her. She even gave Marina her painting.

We went into the In Bloom exhibit. Marina loved the fresh flowers which were placed at the beginning. She even photographed them. She liked looking at all the floral portraits. I let her know which painters were very famous – Monet, Degas, Renoir, Van Gogh. We discussed which ones we liked best throughout.

When we finished with In Bloom, I suggested we check out the Native American art. Marina balked at first, but once we were there, she loved it. We saw baskets, clothing and even a tipi. We found an area with activities and stayed there for a while.

We went back to the studio where Marina tried designing clothes and jewelry with flowers. She spent a long time at that. Once she was done, the Art Museum was about to close, so we went home.
