Give your students a live art encounter—all from your own classroom!
Join us for a live, 30-minute virtual tour of the museum collection, perfect for kids in traditional, virtual, and homeschool classrooms alike. Led by a museum educator, you and your students will get a guided look at works that highlight a chosen facet of the art world.
This week, we’re exploring how artists use storytelling in their creations. We’ll learn how artists use concepts such as narrative, character, and setting in their artworks, how to “read” the stories in art, and spend some time creating our own stories while considering a work of art.
Perfect for students in grades 3 through 5, this tour is an easy, accessible way to help your kids discover more about art.
Free, tickets required. Reserve your spot online or with Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 today.
