Tour Descriptions and Information Year 1 (Grade 3): Understanding Art Theme: Investigate 16 © 2012 Milwaukee Art Museum 700 N. Art Museum Dr. Milwaukee, WI 53202 JDSP – Teacher Packet
Three tours: 1. Experiencing Art Through the Senses, with optional Studio Workshop (October– March) o Students discover works of art through the senses. o An optional art response in the Kohl’s Art Generation Studio extends this tour to 90 minutes. 2. Elements of Art 1 o Students investigate line, shape, and color in works of art. 3. Elements of Art 2 o Students investigate texture and space in works of art. Tour 1: Experiencing Art Through the Senses Background We experience what is happening in our environment through our five senses—hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch—which provide information to the brain. A viewer may use sight to look at a work of art, but other senses may be stimulated as well. A painting of a fish may evoke a smell or a taste. Likewise, a portrait of a person crying may evoke the emotion of sadness. “Sense,” as in “an awareness of the presence of something,” also applies when viewing a work of art: paintings, sculptures, and photographs can all convey a sense of humor, sense of balance, and/or sense of motion. Objectives Explore using all the senses (the basic five, plus sense of humor, sense of balance, sense of motion, etc.) to experience a work of art. Develop vocabulary for looking at and discussing visual art. Create connections to students’ personal lives, to encourage “seeing beyond the picture frame.” Engage in activities that involve touching real objects and that incorporate physical movement, music, and poetry. Apply/extend students’ gallery experience(s) with an optional hands-on response. Primary Point The five senses allow us to explore art in many different ways. When discussing a specific work of art, docents will refer to the five senses and guide students in making personal connections to the sense(s) experienced and the work of art. © 2012 Milwaukee Art Museum 700 N.
