Garden City High School Latin students explore classical art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

On Jan. 15, Garden City High School Latin teacher Magistra Durkin and several Latin IV students traveled to New York City for an educational visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Students participated in a guided tour of the Greek and Roman art collection led by a skilled museum docent, furthering their understanding of classical history, art and culture.
Following the tour, students explored the collection and selected works of art to analyze and write about for a project to be featured in the Latin section of the school’s World Languages Literary Magazine, which will be published later this year. Students also viewed and discussed artwork from other historical periods.
The visit marked a first-time Met experience for many students, leaving them inspired and eager to explore more.
