Creation Tour
Students will use visual thinking routines incorporating mindfulness and movement to observe and interact with the art. Students will practice reasoning skills, putting their thoughts and reflections into words by sharing in the group conversation. They will also take time to reflect and sketch, accessing their imaginations to create their own interpretation of the art. Students will acquire new vocabulary to help them express their ideas fluently when describing and reflecting on works of art.
Incorporates Visual Arts and English Language Arts standards.
Discovery Tour
Students will explore the elements of art via observable properties such as line, color, shape, weight and texture, while also practicing numeric operations and geometrical reasoning. For grades K-5, students will learn properties of matter. For grades 6 - 12, students will practice making observations and inferences verbally and in written form. All students will acquire new vocabulary to help them express their ideas fluently when describing and reflecting on works of art.
Incorporates Visual Arts, Mathematics and Science standards.
Architecture Tour
Students will observe the building, the space and the art in the space in order to make spatial reasoning connections in the museum. They will learn how the art relates to the space in terms of dimensions, color, and light. Students will use visual thinking routines that incorporate mindfulness, slow looking, and sketching in order to process what they observe. They will practice making observations, asking questions, and making inferences as part of the group discussion. Students will acquire new vocabulary to help them express their ideas fluently when describing and reflecting on works of art.
Incorporates Visual Arts, Mathematics and Science standards.
