We believe art is vital. Research shows an arts education helps develop creative-problem solving skills, increases test scores, and nurtures self-confidence, compassion, and imagination.
The K-12 Art Tours is a free program developed by Kimball Art Center staff to provide cross-curriculum visual art lessons for Utah students. Kimball Art Center’s outreach coordinator visits classrooms around the area or hosts field trips at the Kimball Art Center. Each tour facilitates a grade-appropriate discussion about our current exhibition while explaining how it relates to core subjects and leading a hands-on art project.
Kimball Art Center provides this program as a way to integrate art into lessons that are based on national core subject curriculum such as math, science, reading, writing, history, geography and language arts. All lesson plans are based on the state and national core curriculum requirements.
Program Objectives:
- Learn about, discuss and introduce contemporary artists
- Make Connections between the artists shown and ourselves/project
- Explore new materials and techniques
- Incorporate core curriculum tie-ins to visual art lesson
- Play and collaborate with classmates
