How to Look at a Work of Art

Ignite your curiosity while discovering 5,000 years of human creativity through guided and self-guided tours of the UMFA galleries. Beginning with works of art and their stories, we encourage discussion extending across cultures to foster awareness and understanding. We believe that we learn together by asking questions to arrive at new perspectives about art, each other, and the world.

MAX # in Group per visit: 60. One adult per 10 children.

Field trip in 100% free of charge for all students, teachers and chaperones, transportation can be reimbursed while funds last.

How to Look at a Work of Art

Train your artistic eye and develop visual literacy as we practice looking closely at details to interpret works of art using visual evidence. Our world is full of images and it is important that we can read them, discover their meaning, and examine why artists make the choices they do. We will discover how to look at a work of art through sketching, storytelling, and games, asking questions about what we see and making looking at art fun!

Tours are supplemented with a short pre-tour art warm-up and a wrap-up artmaking activity. Current Museum exhibitions connect to core-linked curriculum using question-based, experiential tours that explore art and our world through fun and engaging creative experiences. The goal is to provide valuable arts learning experiences that foster visual literacy, critical thinking, and effective communication.

As with all of the field trip options, I customize pre- and post-visit lesson and reflection to maximize the experience in its entirety.

Guided option, theme:

Pattern!
Explore the Museum's global collection through pattern. Patterns are everywhere! They can be simple or complicated, inspired by nature or math, and can even be symbolic of an idea or feeling - a secret idea hidden in a work of art! Explore amazing patterns from around the world as we dive into repetitions of colors, dots, lines, and spots!
