Week of Jan 14

It was a long lay off with all the holiday and snow breaks, but we are finally getting back on track.  On January 14th we had Jonathan Boisjolie of the High Museum of Art speak to the boys.  Jonathan holds a degree in Arts Administration from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and has worked with cultural organizations in all genres of the arts throughout his career. Prior to joining the High Museum, he worked in the Group Travel industry as a Tour Operator.  I was impressed by the level of interaction between he and the boys as they discussed the various art works in the Powerpoint presentation.  Michael especially surprised me with his art knowledge.

Journal Topic: Why is it important to have an understanding of, and an appreciation for art?
