Twenty-eight art students and faculty traveled to Fort Worth March 19 to visit the Museum of Modern Art and the Kimbell Museum of Art. The Modern Art Museum provides a captivating experience both in terms of its new structure and the world class images on display. At the Kimbell, students and faculty were treated to the delights of a touring exhibition of J. M. W. Turner, an English master of the last century. The Kimbell will be the only U.S. stop for this collection of Turner's masterful works from his Venetian period. The Kimbell also featured the works of François Boucher, beginning with pre-sketches and ending with his actual paintings of myths and legends. Dr. Jill Blondin, assistant professor of art history, organized the trip, which is offered each semester. The trips are advertised for art students, but others are welcome. Reservations are taken on a first come first served basis. The next trip is scheduled for the fall semester.
