On September 26th, the Visual Arts students at EMIS went on an inspiring day trip to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In Tel Aviv, the students had the opportunity to visit unique exhibitions in three different galleries. First, they went to Gordon Gallery, where they saw "Pink Days/Blue Days" by Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), one of the most prominent and influential artists of the 20th century. They then went to the Rozenfeld Gallery, where they saw a group exhibition by Israeli contemporary artists. The last stop in Tel Aviv was the RawArt Gallery, where they saw "Yod" (the tenth and smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet) by Ishai Shapira. Before heading out to Jerusalem, the class enjoyed a nice picnic lunch.
