         SMYRNA -- Motlow Smyrna students visited the Frist Art Museum in downtown Nashville on Nov. 8 as the participants of a field trip sponsored by the Smyrna Entertainment, Arts & Media Club (SEAM).

         The students started their visit with lunch at the museum's cafe'. Following lunch, they roamed the two-story historic building to see the exhibitions "Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists," "OSGEMEOS: In Between," and "Eric Carle's Picture Books: Celebrating 50 Years of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

         Tour participants were Lee Bebout, Addie Bond, Tamara Diallo, Tatiana Diallo, Tierney Finnie, Bryna Green, Melina McCullough, Paul Mynatt, Lindsey Terk, and SEAM Club Faculty Adviser Charles Whiting


         Students shared their thoughts about the museum visit.
        
         Lindsey Terk: "The museum brought back childhood memories... seeing "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

         Tierney Finnie: "The best introduction to art is to stroll through a museum. The more art you see, the more you learn to define yourself. After seeing the "OSGEMOS" exhibit, I have a new outlook on art."



         Addie Bond: "I liked Eric Carle's books exhibit because it reminded me of my childhood... and the one with music."

         Lee Bebout: I really enjoyed the Native American women's exhibit, as well as the Eric Carle exhibit."

         Paul Mynatt: "I enjoyed the Native American exhibit... My favorite was the 'Container of Souls.'"



         Bryna Green: "It was an interesting experience. I enjoyed walking through the exhibits."

         Tatiana Diallo: "Honestly, I loved how some of the artists' artwork had amazing stories behind them and just how the paints described the emotions that the people had during that particular time period."

         Tamara Diallo: I enjoyed how each of the exhibits showcased unique individuality (art forms), especially their relation to the modern world."
