Art in Focus

Grades K–5, 60 minutes
Students investigate the fundamental elements, definitions, and principles of art and design. Conversations stimulate rigorous formal analysis by focusing on ideas like color, form, harmony, line, movement, space, and texture.

Awaken the World!

Grades K–12, 60 minutes
How does art activate our natural and urban spaces? How can art change the ways we interact with the environment? Students examine these guiding questions by considering how different materials and subject matter shape their view of the world.

Creating California

Grades K–12, 60 minutes
The histories, ideas, and terrains alive in our own backyards are infinite! Students delve into artists’ interpretations of California’s places and peoples across time, learning about art-historical movements, media, and social change.

The Place of Art

Grades 4–12, 60 minutes
What is art? And what is its place in my life and society? Analyzing the cultural, political, and social contexts of select objects, students explore how all art is, in part, about the world in which it was made. Discussions push students to think critically about topics like class, gender, race, or world events.

What Do You Litera-See?

Grades 3–5, 60 minutes
Students develop the art of asking questions and making inferences by engaging in all forms of literacy: listening, observing, reading, sharing, speaking, and writing. Evidence-based discussions will move students through a variety of concepts and disciplines.

Co-create learning communities inclusive of all abilities and backgrounds. We empower every learner in our galleries by honoring their diverse experiences, interests and needs. Our teaching strategies emphasize the exploration of identity as a means to our collective enrichment. Together, we promote respect for all individuals by acknowledging the limits of our understanding, leaving space for conversations around social inequities and making interpretive accommodations whenever necessary.

Develop an intimate experience. Tours focus on three or four objects spanning California history to foster visual literacy skills and engaging discussions.

Make connections between visual art and content standards. Visits expand upon topics already encountered in the classroom and allow for new learning opportunities. All K–12 tours incorporate the Common Core State Standards and the California Arts Standards. We are happy to integrate additional subject-specific topics upon request.
