Shared Tour Outlines


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?
