TOUR OVERVIEW

TOUR OVERVIEW

TThe following curriculum guide has been developed for docents to serve as a resource for the various topics that will be covered during the tour “The American Scene.” The guide includes the goals and objectives of the tour, the tour structure (including outreach visits to the classroom and museum visits), major themes and topics, information about the artists and artworks featured during the tour, and content standards for the Alabama Course of Study. 

Goals:
In the Grade 5 curriculum, emphasis is placed on understanding, responding to, and producing art while promoting the elements of art and principles of design through traditional, mixed and digital media.  In addition, the curriculum promotes an increased awareness of art and artists in American history and culture.

Objectives:
This tour program is designed to meet several objectives. Students will become familiar with commonly used art terms and will learn to look for signs of history and culture in interpreting works of art. Students will study works of art in four categories: portraits, landscapes, sculpture, and genre scenes, including both realistic and abstract works. They will also experience interactive works of art in the ARTWORKS gallery and create mixed media works of art in the studios (inspired by a work of art they will see in ARTWORKS).

Fifth grade students will:   
• Analyze major themes in the collection
• Use visual thinking skills and oral communication to discuss and analyze works of art
• Identify narratives, ideas, and feelings expressed by individual artists in works of art
• Identify historical references in works of art
• Analyze paintings in terms of composition, color relationships, and the principles of balance, unity and variety
• Understand how artists create the illusion of depth on a two dimensional surface
• Understand how artists use materials to create mass and volume in sculpture
• Compare and contrast works of art 
• Understand the use of different art materials in the studio
• Apply concepts and ideas present in works of art in the gallery and ARTWORKS to art making in the studio, such as combinations of varied materials, techniques, and layers in a work of art
•Learn about works of art through multi-sensory experiences that encompass sound, movement, and role-playing
