WINTER AND
SPRING SCHOOL TOURS
|
|
|
|
 The National Gallery of Art is currently accepting
school tour requests for tours between January 7 and May 31, 2013.
Our tours for students in kindergarten through grade 12, led by a
docent, are organized around a theme and are structured to
encourage close observation, foster an open exchange of ideas, and
cultivate connections between art and life.
When students have the opportunity to slow down and look carefully
at a few works of art, they can think creatively and critically.
They will question, puzzle, reason with evidence, and compare and
connect. 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.
Learn more about the benefits of teaching and learning with
original works of art.
