Hursey students traveled to Columbia to tour the South Carolina State House and the Columbia Museum of Art.
The State House tour was such a great experience for the students to see and hear brief history of the building and the Civil War . The artwork inside the State House was amazing! It should be classified as a historical art gallery on it's own. The students were fortunate to have been able to work through how a bill passes to a law, and spend time in the Senate and the House chambers. As we exited the tour we walked into the relief sculpture monument of the African American civil rights leaders and their accomplishments. It was beautiful! We were so blessed to be able to visit Columbia this year!
A huge THANK YOU to the Columbia Museum of Art for granting us the opportunity for free admission and some financial assistance with our charter buses through their "Access for All" grant.
Henri Matisse- Jazz and Poetry on Paper at the Columbia Museum of Art
Did you know that African American soldiers in France during WW1 Introduced Jazz to the French? Matisse used the Jazz influence to create his poetry on paper series. 
When we returned to school...
