Mr. Allen’s class also attended our field trip

Why did we go on this field trip? : To see all of the different art pieces and learn who they were by and learn what the meaning of the art pieces were.

This Field trip took place: Monday 1/30/12

Who hosted this Field Trip: Chris, Mary Jo, Mr.Burns and Mr.Allen.

Some highlights of the trip were: Seeing all of the different artwork and photos from old time Bellingham.

Shimmer was a beautiful piece of artwork, it was made out of wire 60 ft. long. It was AMAZING and it was shining gold and silver. The artist that made Shimmer was Lesley Dill.

There was also a lot of old time Bellingham. My favorite was the one where the plane crashed in the middle of someone’s yard, it was FASCINATING. It crashed in 1986.

Lesley Dill is an AMAZING artist. She is inspired by a lot of things such as the silvery light off of the Atlantic Ocean also on her trip to Nepal And India. She is a inspiration to so many people she puts little word poems in her art pieces because she loves poetry so much. This isnt the image of the original Shimmer, but this is by Lesely Dill and it is a diffirent version of Shimmer by her.
