Using SMoCA’s rotating exhibitions as a learning resource, our tours develop skills in observation, reflection, and inquiry through dialogue, play, and collective meaning-making.
This three-part exploration includes a pre-visit in-classroom lesson, a field trip to the museum; and a post-visit in-classroom activity. Each engagement opportunity directly addresses Arizona Visual Arts standards by creating, responding, and connecting to visual art.
Before the museum visit, our educator facilitates an in-classroom lesson to introduce the topics that will be discussed and familiarize students with contemporary art concepts and the current SMoCA exhibitions. The museum field trip includes an hour-long exploration of SMoCA’s rotating exhibitions in which visitors gain a greater understanding of how to look at contemporary art through inquiry and in-gallery activities. After the visit, students participate in an in-classroom visual arts workshop related to themes explored during the tour
