Lesson One For all levels
This lesson is intended as a first introduction for your students to
their Art Museum and Collection.
Gallery Tour 1 hour
Students will take away an appreciation of the building and consider
five or six works that cover a range of subjects, styles, media
and purpose. No attempt is made to see everything but a selection
will be made from our historical and contemporary painting, works
on paper, sculpture, ceramics, glass and textiles collections.
Questions that arise from the visit include:
- Who chooses the art for the Collection?
- Why did they choose it?
- How do you organise which works are shown?
- How do you look after art?
