The Stories Art Can Tell, a Virtual Field Trip for grades K-12 (Tour Resource)
The Stories Art Can Tell
In this VFT, students will explore three works of art from the NCMA’s permanent collection featuring artists from groups that museums have historically excluded or under-represented. Through reading the works by different featured artist groups, students will practice the social emotional learning competencies of self and social-awareness and relationship skills. Choose from the following featured artists below or schedule multiple sessions to cover more groups!
The Stories Art Can Tell, featuring Black Artists
Students will “read” works of art from the permanent collection by African American artists and explore how each artist tells a story of Black History through their unique use of art elements and media.
The Stories Art Can Tell, featuring Indigenous Artists
Students will “read” works of art from the permanent collection by Indigenous North American artists and explore how each artist tells a story of Native American past, present, and future. Students will discover how each artist uses their media and scale to elevate and point to the universality of these stories.
The Stories Art Can Tell, featuring Latin American Artists
Students will “read” works of art from the permanent collection by Latin American artists and explore how each artist tells a story about their identity through images of place. Please have student come to their session with two pieces of paper each, any color.
The Stories Art Can Tell, featuring Women Artists
