During a 45 to 90 minute guided Musuem visit, students view original works of art from the Museum's diverse collection/current exhibitions/sculpture garden. Following an inquiry-based approach to discussion, students engage in hands-on art activity. All sessions address the NY State Standards and can be adapted to meet participant needs. The program takes place in our intimate gallery space and aims to foster the development of critical thinking skills.
Arts Advenure (Grades PK-2) Bring art to life by helping young people learn how to “read” selected works in the gallery. Focusing on story and narrative in works on view, students will strengthen their vocabulary, and observational and interpretive skills while having fun.
Art Explorers (Grades 3-5) Students investigate what art can tell us about the people, lifestyles, and beliefs of various times and cultures as they sharpen their observational, communicative and critical thinking skills.
ART SPEAKS (Grades 6-12) Students engage in interdisciplinary thinking and collaborative learning to discover the richness and diversity of the human experience through works of art. Examining imagery, materials and techniques, students explore how artists and cultures use visual language to express their world.
