Student tours at the Wiregrass Museum of Art delve into more than just an appreciation for art. There's also science, language, and math.
As it continues an arts education partnership with Dothan City Schools for the 2022-2023 school year, the Wiregrass Museum of Art is using its resources to target crucial educational benchmarks for specific grades. Through the museum's gallery tours and hands-on learning, art educators focus on identified learning needs for students in first, fourth and sixth grades, according to a WMA news release.

After students tour the galleries, they create a STEAM based art project, like DIY kaleidoscopes or line plot cityscapes. Sixth-grade students will take tours all about visual art, to encourage their inner creativity and build on their visual arts lexicon and historical understanding.
"WMA’s student tours are an amazing option for a local field trip for free," said Crystal Forehand, a visual arts teacher at Kelly Springs Elementary School. "The tours provide an engaging art experience for students of all academic levels. The docents maintain students’ attention and their hands-on lessons make everyone feel like an artist.”
“We developed our tour program based on conversations with area educators and administrators to ensure that we created an experience that is fun and engaging for everyone, including teachers," Brook McGinnis, WMA’s education director, said."By inviting groups into our classroom studio, educators observe how we lead an art activity, including how we face challenges and then triumph. Our hope in doing this is that they feel more confident leading art activities with their students.
