Artist Stories
Grades K–3
How can art tell a story? During this field trip, young students will use their imagination to discover how the art and artists of our time tell stories. By observation, describing, and comparing artworks, students will get to know artists through their process and perspectives.
Hirshhorn Build
Grades K–6
Investigate how artists and architects think, plan, and build on this hands-on field trip. Through slow looking, discussion, and experimentation, students will understand how architectural design and installation art can influence the world we live in and build the world we want to create. This program is aligned with District of Columbia Public School the arts curricula, Enchanted City.
Think Like An Artist
Grades 4–12
In this field trip, students think critically about how artists break boundaries and express their identities. Through close looking, sketching, and conversation, students will uncover a variety of artist choices such as media, process, style, and concept. Teachers, if you would like this field trip to have a thematic focus let us know and we will customize this field trip to complement classroom learning.
