Goodbye Dallas … hello Cowtown! Boarding the buses this morning, campers headed out to Fort Worth to explore careers in the arts and the art of science. The day began with groups touring the city’s famed cultural district, including stops at Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum. After lunch, one group stuck to the arts theme with a behind-the-scenes look at Bass Hall and careers in the performing arts.
"Today was a really great day. We went to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. I learned about some of the sculptures. We learned about 'Book with Wings,' 'Curved Red on Blue,' '20 Different Marlins' and more. It was too bad that we had to leave, but at least we went to see the cattle drive. After lunch we went to the Bass Hall and learned that it was built in May of 1998 and that the box seat can cost up to $2,000,000. They’re trying to keep the Bass Hall alive for about 300 years." - Romeo Navarro
At the UNT Health Sciences Center, future doctors, nurses and physicians assistants converged at the “Gross Anatomy Lab” to learn about careers in the medical sciences—and for a chance to examine real human bones!
"Today I went to the Kimbell Art Museum and the UNT Health Science Center. The paintings were so vivid and told their own stories. I never touched real human bones until now. That’s not something a lot of people can say." - Xuhaxi Matus
At the Fort Worth Stockyards, animal sciences were on the agenda as the group got up-close and personal with the residents, aka the cattle, and took part in the daily cattle round-up.
