On February 13th, UPNEXT visited the Museum of Modern Art. There, The Art Educator, Shellyne Rodriquez, led the tour and advised the fathers to keep an open mind while observing the art.
As they toured the museum, the fathers viewed paintings from famous
artists and gave their honest opinions. In particular, three Picasso paintings captivated
our fathers and prompted them to voice their own unique interpretations of his
works. They asked questions such as: “What inspired Picasso to create these paintings?” and,
"What did the women in each painting symbolize?" The diversity of art sparked lively discussions among the fathers.
Inspired by the visit, one father extended his gratitude to UPNEXT for
providing him with this enriching experience. He said that he would return with
his family on a weekend We thank MoMA for hosting this visit and exposing our fathers to contemporary art. UPNEXT takes pride in giving its fathers the opportunities to enjoy new activities.
