Elements of Art
4th grade & up

This tour, one-hour in length, teaches the fundamentals of
Color, Line, Shape, Texture, and Value. Learn—during this
interactive tour—how to look at and talk about ceramics, paintings, sculptures and works on paper. A hands-on activity allows participants to use new knowledge of the Elements of Art, and follow-up ideas are provided to extend the lesson in the classroom!

The Red Sculpture Project
5th grade

Students can explore three dimensional materials—wood, metal and magnets—through the eyes and artwork of several museum artists. Hands on activities in the classroom and during the museum visit illustrate the concepts discussed. This is targeted to fifth grade science core curriculum.

Cross-Disciplinary Programs
Your students will have a well-rounded look at cultural objects from a fine art (aesthetic) and anthropological perspective to merge fine art and core curricula! Tours can rotate through two of the three venues across campus: the Museum of Art, Special Collections and Archives, and the Anthropology Museum, to sample their unique collections and gain a greater understanding how these collections can provide important context to your curriculem topic.
