Field Trip: Cambridge Centre for the Arts

I had to take this fellow below to his new home in Cambridge, so I gathered up my son and we made a day of it.   Plus my hubby is sick and needs a quiet house so the longer we are gone the better.

We found out that most of the museums in Kitchener are closed until February so we searched for something else to do and discovered the Cambridge Centre for the Arts.   I can say this... WOW... the people running this gallery are so friendly and helpful.  I was so impressed by the hospitality showed by the staff.  

What the gallery does (it's a small one) is host month long displays.   This month the display was called :   Artists and Their Apprentices. 

We had fun.   :)

This image caught my eye as soon as we entered the gallery.   The striking colours and the blocked movement just drew me in.

My son's attention was drawn to this picture.   It's a neat picture isn't it?

We learned this this gallery were submitted projects from classes they had done over the winter.    Some were done by the teachers, others were done by the students.   They ranged in age from child to adult.   It was an interesting display.

We stood in front of this quilt display for quite a while.   My son saw faces throughout the quilt.  I admit it took me a while to see them until he started pointed them out.   In the picture I can see those faces clearly, but in real life it took a bit longer.  :)

Below is much of what we found displayed.   Some of it was really nicely done.

On the way out, the lady at the front desk advised us to go over to city hall.   Cambridge city hall was designed with a lot of green elements to it.  She said "wait til you see the living wall!".   Naturally we had to go check it out.   Can't say my lad was impressed, but I thought it rather neat.

Outside we found this neat display of fish swimming in a stream.   So we of course, HAD TO, sit with them.  :)

My lad and I had a great day hanging out together.    We saw neat art.  Enjoyed a nice lunch together.   Didn't do much in the way of school YEAH says a boy child, and ah... it was just great.  :)   We capped off our day stopping in at Sola-Scriptura, I visited with friends and found out that YES, I am approved to be a reviewer for them so I picked up three books.  More on them later though.  :)

Headed home where we had a quick supper, the lad went off to swim with the Cadets and I went to a meeting.     Sick hubby had a day almost entirely too himself, which we hope will help boost his recovery period.  :)
