This introductory tour helps the younger members of our community
develop their visual skills as they learn to look at art, discovering colors,
textures, patterns, and shapes. The themes presented—such as children in
art, home and family, and animals—are designed to captivate students'
imaginations and show how art relates to their own world. This tour meets
state content standards for history/social science for grades 2 and 3.
