December 7, 2012. Homeschool groups of 10 plus are welcome.Thematic, docent-led tours for students in kindergarten through grade 12 are structured to encourage close observation, foster an open exchange of ideas, and cultivate connections between art and life.
While slowing down to look carefully at a few works of art, students have the opportunity to think creatively and critically. They will question, puzzle, use evidence for reasoning, and compare and connect works of art. Most powerfully, they will develop their own interpretations and ideas about works of art. Docents consult closely with teachers to ensure that tours enhance, support, and extend classroom learning and curriculum objectives.
