G8 Field Trip
As part of their unit Form Inspiring Form, Grade 8 students visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Bangkok to explore how visual art can inspire creative writing. After studying artworks connected to personal, community, and global perspectives, students used the trip to deepen their understanding of Thai contemporary art.
While at MOCA, each student selected a piece of artwork that resonated with them through its themes, details, and visual elements. Back in class, these works became the inspiration for ekphrastic poems, allowing students to transform observation into imaginative and thoughtful writing. The experience helped students make meaningful connections between art and language while developing their own creative voices.
