Sanford High School’s National Art Honor Society (NAHS) students recently took a field trip to Rockland, led by Ms. Warner and Ms. Quarles.
The October 4th event offered students a unique opportunity to experience Maine’s diverse art scene through visits to multiple acclaimed venues.
At the Farnsworth Museum, students explored the legacy of the renowned Wyeth family, examining works spanning three generations. They also discovered how Maine’s landscape, particularly Monhegan Island, has influenced numerous local artists.
The Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) provided an interactive experience where students engaged with works by three contemporary artists. Students participated in hands-on art-making activities and meaningful discussions about modern artistic expression.
The day concluded with a stop at the historic Olson House in Cushing. While interior access was restricted, students captured photographs of the house and surrounding landscape.
