Mid-April we took a field trip with TEACH to the Amon Carter Art Museum in Ft. Worth. What a great experience! The museum, which touts that it caters to homeschoolers, wasn't kidding! They broke our group into smaller groups by age, and led a custom tour through the museum focussing on what we had requested, color theory and self-portraits.
Here is our docent, Ms. Long, helping our little ones understand the art. I was so impressed that with our mostly Kindergarten-aged learners, she had them sitting in front of the painting, answering very well-crafted questions to really dive into the art. They loved it, and I was amazed at how much they noticed with just a little guidance!

Talking about "how colors play together." Again, mesmerized children, and this mommy loved it too!
This one, called "Figure" was one of my favorites.

Awesome teaching method--colors that play well together!
We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit to the Amon Carter and hope that you'll bring your family back for our homeschool and family programs in the future!
I so loved working with such curious, engaged students. I would love to hear about your adventures in color theory during the week following your visit to the Amon Carter.
