Oh, yes.
And now, somewhere deep in the bowels of the art museum, there is surveillance video of all my little darlings pointing, howling, and yelling, "Titties, titties!"
Who says children can't appreciate culture?

Art Appreciation
Yesterday, I spent the day chaperoning a herd of 4th graders through an art museum. I'm happy to report that all of the Van Goghs, Renoirs, Monets, and Picassos survived undamaged. My psyche? Not so much.
You see, it turns out that 4th grade boys have a much deeper and more enthusiastic appreciation of fine art than I realized.

Now this made me smile. How I remember back in the day chaperoning outings such as these. Have a great weekend.
Now you know why I chose not to teach art. :D
Been there, done that except in my case it was a group of girls giggling and whispering (non to quietly) about willies.
hahaha well at least they were interested.
we showed liberty leading the people in class the other day...art by delcroix....yep you'd think it was the best bit of action the boys had in a while...
lol
ha ha! oh, too funny!
Oh, what a hoot! Sounds about right to me and I do remember those days -- as a teacher and a chaperone!!
hahahahahahaha Boys will be boys lol
Be glad they weren't teenagers.
Kids...gotta love 'em ;)
Funny!
I do wonder if the "special" nature of art trips puts up a barrier to kids becoming involved in art - ie they see it has something that happens elsewhere, in big buildings, rather than as a part of very day life.
I took groups of older kids around the National Gallery here, and it was a constant battle with the "this is stupid" type of comment! Ah, happy days.

Good grief. What IS that? Some sort of gryphon/primitive/your friend's chubby sister?
Yes, a lovely photo ... that pretty much sculpture.
lol too funny for words.
Oh, no...they should have covered that thing up before they got there! I can just hear the howling and giggling...
hahaha.... boys can be embarrassing. I could almost hear the howling.
Ha ha ha! Got to love kids.
I know several grown men that would react the same way. :)
between you and me...

This is easily the funniest thing I have read in a while. Bravo.
Ha, too funny. I well remember art museums with little darlings although I never had to go with a class. A friend and I used to go with our children when they were young. I only have one, now an adult, but my friend had 3 and even with the 4 of them it was an experience. We were gluttons for punishment and went several times with the kids in tow.
Kudos to you. You are very, Very brave to attend an art museum with 4th-grade boys!
lol!!
And that is what makes art so interesting.
Hilarious! No surprise that the wings didn't catch their attention!
What fun, I did have nice giggle at your last sentence!
Typical males!
I love it, I laughed a lot :))
;>)... what does the video show you saying? Makes me happy (for a change) that we raised our kids in a small town! (Only because being a room mother was easier, not because they missed seeing the sculpture!)
There are other body parts lurking around at art museums. They must have missed the Thinker sculpture :)
My daughter had a art museum field trip on Friday, too. She said some of the kids, especially the boys, couldn't appreciate the art for the nudity.
oh the joys.. thanks for the laugh :)
