Request this tour | Pre-visit Video (for Grades 2–6)
Students will explore portraits and landscapes, as a way of telling stories about people and places from the past. Students will be encouraged to make personal connections and interpretations, using evidence from the works of art.
Looking and Learning Skills
During four or five tour stops, students engage in activities—such as looking exercises, simple art-making activities, and small group work—that foster conversations around works of art. The following skills are promoted:
- Describing and sharing ideas about the art
- Drawing upon prior knowledge to generate ideas about works of art
- Comparing and contrasting works of art
- Comparing life, past and present
