- Hello class!

Your art teacher, Ms. Easel, and I

are very excited for today's field trip!

- The Mayor has asked our class

to paint a mural for the city on this wall.

- Mayor Sitwell!? I better bring my A game today.

- I want everyone to paint a picture

of your favorite place in City Island.

- There's so much I love about City Island.

I can't decide what I want to paint.

I have painters block.

- I know a place around the corner

that just might give you some ideas.

- Is it an idea store?

- No. But that's a good idea.

- Wow. What is this place?

- This is the City Island Art Museum.

It's a place with art from all over the world

for the whole community to see.

- What kind of art?

I'm a bit of an expert in comic books.

So if it's comic books,

I could probably lead the tour.

- Let's go inside so you can see for yourself.

This is the painting gallery.

- Cool pictures.

Oh, I like this one.

It looks delicious.

What kind of art is this, Ms. Easel?

- One of the best things about art

is that it can speak for itself.

- Hi, I'm Pigment.

I may look like a bowl of fruit, but I'm a still life.

That means I'm a painting of an arrangement of objects.

- Cool. So art is flat paintings of things?

- Art comes in all shapes and sizes.

This is the sculpture gallery.

- Whoa. What's this?

Are you from outer space?

- I'm from Earth, just like you.

My name is Abby. I'm an abstract sculpture.

My look is more about feelings than real things.

- I feel like you look awesome.

- Thanks!

Come by the museum anytime and we can hang.

- I get it.

Art looks like something and sits still so you can see it.

- That's true. But art can move too.

This is the motion gallery.

Some people find it very moving.

- Hilarious.

- Wow. Look at this one.

Are you a merry-go-round?

- Nope. I'm Zoe the Zoetrope.

When my pictures spin fast enough, they start to move.

I'm a cartoon. Whee!

[mechanical clacking]

- I hope one day I can be a cartoon.

Wow! I never knew there were so many different kinds of art.

I'm totally inspired.

- I thought you would be.

Are you ready to head back to the mural?

- I sure am.

I know just what to paint.

- That's a really cool painting, Watt!

- Thanks, Windy.

This is a place that really inspired me.

- Brilliant work, class.

Mayor Sitwell, are you enjoying the mural?

- I love it!

It looks just like City Island.

A beautiful mix of cultures and ideas.

This is a mural that everyone can enjoy!

- Oh thanks, Mayor. The class did help too.

- I think that everyone gets an A plus.

- Yay!
