We Go As They Gallery Tour and Workshop
Description
The guided tour and workshop begins with an inquiry-based discussion in the exhibition We Go As They. Following the gallery tour, students participate in a hands-on, art-making workshop that reinforces ideas and concepts in the exhibition. Workshop prompts may include: In what ways might we interpret meaning from abstract forms and shapes? How can different artistic mediums be used in abstract ways? The art-making workshop for Icons may include painting, printmaking, collage, or sculpture, introducing students to different art-making techniques. Workshops are tailored to each group, based on grade-level and age. Students take their works of art home.
