Hi! Yesterday, all agreed they enjoyed a wonderful learning
day exploring the National Gallery of Art through a Home School Docent-led tour
"Elements of Art." They explored various Modern artists in the
East Building including Matisse with hands on activities including sketching,
creating their own designs, and recreating a matisse using colorful
appliqués.
Did you miss out?? Well guess what. Bonus! Here is another
chance this month to join us! Please RSVP by Friday if you would like to join
AAHA on Feb. 20 at a 10:00 tour. The topic? Exploring
Modern Art: Breaking the Rules. 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.
Join us,
because sometimes you just have to "break the rules!"

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. Please
join us at the AAHA Meeting on Feb. 11, 7-9 at the Accokeek Library:
"Volunteerism and Home Schooling."
