Classes 3.1 and 3.2 spent our Tuesday at the National Art Museum of China. We explored the images communicated ideas and had the opportunity to use the knowledge from our current unit: How We Express Ourselves.
结合本单元的探究主题——我们如何表达自己，PYP三年级1班和2班全体师生在11月20日星期二，到中国美术馆进行了参观探究。
Our central idea for this unit is: Images may communicate ideas and information. In our previous exploration of our unit, we had learned a lot about different types of images as well as their various elements of design. We know that we can know the artists’ ideas when we see their images.
我们本单元学习的主题思想：图片能够传达思想和信息。学生们在这个探究单元里学习了很多不同类型的图片，也学习了绘画的设计元素。学生们能够从图片上的信息来理解作者的想法和要传达的思想。
The purpose of our field trip was to build upon our prior knowledge by exploring the images communicate ideas and information and putting into practice our understanding of these three lines of inquiry:
– The use of static and moving images in media
– How design elements of images link to communication
– How we interpret and respond to images
我们参观实践的目的，是用学习的知识去探索艺术家们是如何用图片交流思想的。通过这次实践让学生们更好的理解本单元的探究线索：
-动态图片和静态图片在媒体中的使用
-如何将图片的设计元素与交流联系起来
-我们如何诠释和回应图片
At the National Art Museum of China, we began by understanding about types of images and elements of art. First we were introduced to Monthly Exhibition of images in national Art Museum of China. Next the students were divided into groups and taken on a tour of visiting “Collection Activation” Series Exhibition–Unique Charm of Sketches. This exhibition displayed 141 pieces of artwork of the collection of National Art Museum of China. The students needed to understand the artists’ ideas that they wanted to communicate through their artworks. During this whole time the students had a worksheets that they needed to complete.
在中国美术馆，我们深入地理解图片的种类和绘画的设计元素。首先，工作人员向我们介绍了中国美术馆的月展讯。然后，学生们分成小组参观了“典藏活化”系列展：绘事之“素”——素描作品展。
本次展出141件中国美术馆藏品，学生通过这些作品去感受艺术家们传递的思想。在参观的同时，各小组学生们积极地完成探究报告单。
Our students and teachers really appreciated the opportunity to experience seeing an artwork exhibition. We were able to make significant connections from our classroom learning to the outside world. In addition, visiting an artwork exhibition in the real world will help prepare our students for their Summative Assessment task.
我们的学生和老师非常感激有这样一个机会参观美术艺术作品展，这让我们能够将外面世界和校内PYP探究内容紧密结合。
另外，能够参观这样的艺术展，将帮助学生们更好地准备和完成本单元的PYP总结性评估任务。
