Session 2: Week 1- Field Trip Photos

Session 2 kicked off with a field trip to Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters Museum. Click through the photo gallery to travel with us as we learn about Gothic art and architecture. What is a Cloister? Cloisters are a mideval building that developed out of Greek and Roman influences, they are an outdoor space incorporated with an indoor space. The monks, nuns and people who used these buildings would grow herbs, fruit and flowers in their cloister. During this period in history Europe was not a safe place, so having a cloister in your living space provided a safe way to get herbs and fruit.
