Travel Apparel

The holiday seasons is upon us and people will be traveling nationally and internationally to visit family and friends. Although people will use different methods of traveling each will require clothing that will be comfortable, flexible, and stylish. Fashion Designers what do you recommend? Discuss the possible trip destinations and the type of clothing consumers will need to, during, and from their destination.

Chelsea Art Museum

What an experience!!!!!

Today we had the honor of going on a field trip to the Chelsea Art Museum Home of the Miotte Foundation. We viewed Marlene Tseng Yu’s Forces of Nature exhibition and Carlo Zanni’s Flying False Colors exhibition presented The Project Room for New Media at Cam, a technology inspired art medium. There was additional featured attraction all of which were equally interesting and insightful.

We would like to thank Ms. Carolin Wagner who toured our class through the museum and provided us with countless information about each artist and more.

Ms. Nieto, Ms. Boulamaali, Ms. Serrano, and Ms. Lasky you have done it again. Provided us with another valuable learning experience!!!!!! Many Thanks

Students please share your experience with the “What I Learned For Sure” community.
