Next Tuesday the Zingleberry book group, which is for children grades three through six, will be taking a field trip the the Walker Art Museum in Minneapolis. We will also be eating at the Quang restaurant.
Here's the scoop; after reading "Julia Gilian and the Art of Knowing" by Alison McGhee the book group made paper mache masks (you'd have to read the book to know why). Then we were fortunate enough to have Alsion McGhee visit our library and spend some time with members of the Zingleberry book group, we also got to show her our paper mache projects. In the book "Julia Gilian and the Art of Knowing" the Quang restaurant is mentioned often along with their famous bubble tea so we decided we really needed to pay a visit. As luck would have it the Quang is normally closed on Tuesdays but will be opening that day just for our group.
We are visiting the Walker because our group is incredibly creative and wants to spend some time delving into assemblage art.
We will be using the book "How to be an Explorer of the World" next year as a part of our program so that we can be better observers of all that is around us.
