Haggerty Museum of Art: Education: vol. 71

Luke Farley leads a tour for Parkside 2nd graders.
Milwaukee Parkside School for the Arts Visits the Haggerty
During March and April the Haggerty hosted a series of art excursions for students from
Milwaukee Parkside School for the Arts. In addition to seeing the Haggerty exhibitions, the
students also toured the Joan of Arc Chapel and Helfaer Theatre. All of the school’s K4­
2nd graders participated in the program—approximately 325 students, in total.
A group of volunteers helped carry­out the events. Haggerty docent Joan Houlehen and RedLine
artist­in­residence Luke Farley led the museum tours; Ann Hilbert, from Campus Ministry,
presented tours of the Joan of Arc Chapel; and Marquette students Natasha Mraz and Justinne
Certeza guided the children from place to place, presented the Helfaer Theatre tours, and assisted
with hands­on activities.
Parkside first grade teacher Jane Borden had this to say about the program, “Our K­2 students are
getting high level arts experiences at the Haggerty Museum this spring. The tour includes artful
thinking in which students are asked to look at, think about, and react to artwork. We also have the
opportunity to take a tour of the Joan of Arc Chapel and the Helfaer Theatre. This is a one of a
kind experience that allows our students to have a day on the Marquette Campus and use their
critical thinking skills!”
