Field trip features ‘This Is Modern Art’ performance

GT students in the Alamosa School District had the opportunity to participate in a field trip on April 5th. Twenty-three students had the opportunity to attend The Denver Center of Performing Arts and watch a performance of “This Is Modern Art.” The performance was about graffiti artists who set out to make their voices heard and alter the way people viewed the world. After the performance, students had the chance to visit with the actors, participate in a question and answer, and do a behind the scenes tour. These opportunities are part of the district’s extended programming for GT students. The activity reinforced Common Core Standards, specifically literacy on focusing on how a particular story’s or drama’s plot unfolded in a series of episodes as well as how the characters responded or changed as the plot moved towards a resolution./Courtesy photo
