Kujawa Elementary Students Visit Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Sixty students from Kelly Patterson’s art classes recently visited the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH) to view The Age of Impressionism exhibit.

Patterson received a grant to cover the costs of tickets for 60 students along with six teachers and a bus for the field trip.

The third and fourth grade students enjoyed observing Impressionist paintings during the guided tour as well as participating in a question and answer session about how the Impressionists created a new way of seeing the world.

TMK IPSCO funding made the opportunity possible. TMK IPSCO is an industry leader in innovative tubular products. As one of the largest North American producers of welded and seamless pipe and premium connections, TMK IPSCO is dedicated to serving the oil and gas industry and many industrial markets.

Incidentally, Patterson, Tara Rollins, information literacy specialist at the campus, and Kasey Cargill all participated in a free Learning Through Art Teacher workshop at the MFAH to explore the exhibition of Impressionism and learn how to use the works of art to teach age-appropriate lessons for grades K–6.
