I am really excited about these programs!The tour program is for our often overlooked teens and tweens! Courtney, Saralyn and I have been talking for months now coming up with this program to give our students the vocabulary and tools necessary to meaningfully approach and understand the artwork they encounter in the world. This is not just a series of tours but a series of lessons building on each other and paving the way to a life time of love and appreciation of art...
Glory of Stories is broken up into two age groups, 4-6 and 7-9 and because of the overwhelming demand for this popular program they are now offering it at two different time!
