Permanent Collection Tour
Grade Level: 3rd-12th
This tour will let students explore the permanent art collection while learning about social studies, language, art and science. This tour compliments our
online educator guide, giving teachers the freedom to use the guide in the classroom or in the Museum - or both! |
Amazing Animals
Grade level: Pre-K - 1st
Have fun discovering the wild and crazy animals
in the Museum’s permanent collection
and the stories they tell. Through lively discussion,
students will compare and contrast; learn to read
visual clues in a work of art to decode its story;
and use their senses in imaginative exploration. The
optional hands-on activity involves creating animals
out of clay.
Colors and Shapes
Grade Level: Pre-K - 1st
Colors and shapes make up everything we see in
nature and in the man-made world. Students will
explore primary and secondary colors and all kinds
of shapes in fun works of art from the Museum’s
permanent collection. If you choose the optional
hands-on activity, students will learn about color
mixing by making a color wheel with Play Dough.
Learning to Look
Grade level: K-3rd
This interdisciplinary tour focuses on the elements
of art—line, color, texture, shape and form, and is
designed to meet elementary school curriculum
objectives.
Self-Guided Overview School Tours
Teachers can lead their students through the
permanent art collection or the history gallery and
have the flexibility to focus of specific topics students
are studying. Self-guided tour cards are available to
any teacher wanting to use them. These cards will
highlight specific works and artifacts along the way
that you may want to use to teach from.
