Pre-Visit Slideshow for Art Scientists

The following slideshow contains images from the museum to prepare your students for their VFT.  Questions to guide your students through engagement with the slideshow are located in the speaker notes and apply to both first-time and returning VFT students.  Feel free to customize your questioning to students’ interests, your class goals, and the time you have available to spend. Click here for your own copy and access to the speaker notes. If anything comes up in conversation with this slideshow that you would like to share with your facilitator, please send an email to CBrown@ncartmuseum.org at least 2 days before your tour.  We look forward to meeting with you and your students during your VFT!
