| Interactive Docent-led Tour | MA-01 | | Huntsville Museum of Art | | Language Arts | Social Studies | | | | Fine Arts | | Description: | Taking a tour with a trained docent enhances the museum experience. A docent encourages students to ask and answer questions about the art on view. Docents provide a great deal of background about the artist, the works, and the artistic movement to which the art belongs. By helping the student to observe, compare, and interpret, the docent provides students the tools to evaluate art on their own. Groups of ten or more may schedule a docent-led tour with two weeks notice. | | Course Length: | 1 hour | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
