Panola College Foundation funds art museum field trip
 
Students from Ann Boland's art classes, Teresa Beasley's communication
classes, and Dr. Kathy Watlington's Spanish classes traveled to Shreveport
on Thursday, Oct. 27, to tour the R.W. Norton Art Gallery.
 
Boland wrote a grant that was funded by the Panola College Foundation to
provide Panola College students with a museum experience. The Norton
collection includes more than 400 paintings by more than 100 artists,
dating from the Renaissance to present day. The museum includes The
Classical Influence, the Journey to Modernism, A Century of Turmoil -
Europe in the 19th Century, a Fairy Tale Gallery for children, From Rebirth
to Enlightenment: Europe from the 14th to 18th Century, Candle in the Dark,
Origins of Western Art, Mind of the Artist, Louisiana Collections, The
Persuasion of the Portrait, Visions of America, The Icon and Iconographer,
American Art History, Soldiers and Statesman, Inventing the West, Living in
America, a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, Landscape Movement - the Hudson River
School, Firearms Collection, Views of the World, The Gray/Blumenstiel Doll
Collection, and The Natural World. On loan to the museum are visiting
exhibits of photographs from early New Orleans called "Scarlett Passions"
and posters from World War I, an exhibit entitled "Art Goes to War."
 
The Norton also features 43 landscaped acres with paved trails, outdoor
sculptures, water gardens and more than 10,000 plants.
 
The Norton, located at 4747 Creswell Ave., is free and open to the public.
No photography is allowed in the Museum and Gardens without educational
