On April 23, 2024, the Academic Decathlon team and the Art Club went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City @metmuseum. They were able to explore artwork and sculptures from different cultures over the centuries. Two of the special exhibits the students could view were the Harlem Renaissance and Indian Skies, which included paintings and drawings from India. The main reason for visiting the museum was to see two particular pieces that the Academic Decathlon studied this school year: "Jar with Dragon" and "Mummy with an Inserted Panel Portrait of a Youth." "Jar with Dragon" is from early fifteenth-century China. This jar is important because the blue and white porcelain used an innovative technique using ceramics. This porcelain became a huge source of trade. "Mummy with an Inserted Panel Portrait of a Youth" is from 80-100 CE in Egypt during the Roman period. This piece represents the combination of the Roman and Egyptian cultures. The people used Egyptian mummification techniques and Roman artwork! #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #hillsidehighschool #metropolitanmuseum #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities
