Toward the end of the fall semester, Form II made their second field study of the year to the Crow Museum of Asian Art in Dallas. They looked at many beautiful works of art, such as the head of a Buddha statue from China and a complete suit of samurai armor from the Edo period in Japan. The students were well prepared for this eastward journey by Fr. Augustine (social studies) and Ms. Williams (English). With Fr. Augustine they are studying Eastern civilizations and religions, including Buddhism and Hinduism. With Ms. Williams they are currently reading a work of literature (written in English) by a Korean author, A Single Shard. The docents and museum were wonderful. And we are proud to say that we impressed them as well by our knowledge, curiosity and excitement! @ Crow Museum of Asian Art
