Shared Tour Outlines

Academic Arts to Impressionism

Let’s Talk Tours, April 16, 2019
Jim Allen, “The Bumpy Road from Academic Art to Impressionism”
Focus was the 1800’s and what was happening historically, socially, artistically. The topic proved to be too big to include the World so Jim narrowed it down to primarily France. See the detailed tour outline below and supporting documents, including some photo props:

Tour of Dutch Republic Art

From your colleague Linda Krueger, a detailed tour outline for the tour she developed entitled “Middle Class Takes Over Art World. Dutch Republic, 17th Century.” In this document, you will find loads of great information on the time of the Dutch Republic and how our art reflects that time:

You be the Curator! tour and participatory activity

From your colleague Josie Owens, an idea for a tour capped by a participatory activity connected to Native American Art.

Josie says, “If anyone wants to use my supplies, I am happy to share them. They are all laminated and very nice. I shared the tour idea and a photo of the curatorial decisions reached with Jill who loved it.”

Here are the instructions:

Tour: All that glitters is not gold

Your colleague Dick Ploetz, a member of the Legacy Study Group, is sharing a tour he developed for the McQuinn Silver Gallery featuring legacy gifts from the McQuinn and Bell families. Corresponding object files for the tour will be posted under Permanent Collection, Decorative Arts.

Contemporary Art Tour/Activity

This self-guided activity sheet, developed by docent Ginny Wheeler, could also be used for a contemporary art tour for teens and adults by developing a theme and transitions that tie the works together. Here is a possible theme:

Contemporary Art: Finding Connections
This tour/activity is about connections…the viewer and the art, the artist and tradition, the artist and the past, the art and today’s world. How do we connect with art? How does the artist connect the past and present?
