1. As was posted on the Integrated Art blog, Hannah and I would absolutely LOVE to visit the Portland Art Museum.
On the website it says that School group tours are free---so that might be a very good idea, we'd just have to reserve a spot in time.

I believe that Hannah posted the hours that we'll be able to visit.
At the moment, there isn't a specific exhibit I would REALLY like to see, although the "Riches of a City: Portland Collects" would be interesting.

2. Although I do like museums, I don't feel that in order to see or feel art, we need to visit a museum. Art is around us, especially in the buildings and nature. I'd love to go downtown on a nice day, and maybe we could all take pictures, or paint in a park..I think it would be an interesting experience to paint "en plein air". I've read a lot of different articles about artists who do this, and I think it would be really cool to try it out. I don't know where there are festivals or such as...
but it would most definitely be interesting if we could do this on our own? I know that there are a lot of cool parks downtown Portland, and buildings too, so it's really such a waste & shame not to put our beautiful city to use, through art.

3. This is also about the Portland Art Museum, but I think it would be interesting to also be able to look at Native American art. I mean, this was THEIR land, and it'd be right for us to learn about their art, the stuff that was here before us! I think that there would be a lot of diversity, and a TON of things to learn.
