Did you miss out on one of AAHA's fall or winter NGA Art
Tours? Well guess what? Here is one last chance this school year to join us!
Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 17 if you would like to join AAHA on April 24
on a 10:00 tour.
The topic? Every
Picture Tells a Story. These tours are inquiry-based rather than
lecture-based. The tour will consist of 5 to 6 stops where students will be
encouraged to look carefully and discuss works of art. The docent will ask
open-ended questions to start the discussion and then add information as the
students respond to the works of art. Usually there is a hands on component
where the children are asked to sketch.
We will meet in the West Wing Rotunda by the fountain.

This tour is
designed for 4-6th grade elementary school aged students though interested
younger/older siblings are welcome! The NGA expects that as a chaperone
you are responsible for the conduct of your child during the tour. As we are
trying to create a nurturing art experience for everyone on the tour and
respect the museum, if for any reason your child is disruptive on the tour,
they may be asked to be excused.
PS. A reminder to mark your
calendars: Next AAHA Meeting is May 13th! Location and subject TBD.
