School Programs!
New Oportunities
January-May, 2010
The LSU Museum of Art is encouraging teachers to think outside the box - or in this case, outside the school day. While our educational programs are still available Tuesday through Friday, we know that not every teacher can get permission, a bus, chaperones, etc. during the school day. And between tests, picture days, early dismissals, and holidays sometimes it seems there's never enough time for a museum visit. But if you want to to make the LSU Museum of Art a part of your students' education and a part of their families' quality time, we want to help. So, starting this January, teachers can invite their students and students' families to visit the LSU Museum of Art on a weekend. Family Field Trips will still
* connect what you are teaching at school with museum exhibitions
* be age appropriate
* challenge students to engage with the artworks
but now families can play a more active role and experience how a visit to the LSU Museum of Art can be both educational and fun.

Who Did It?
May 8, 10am - 2pm
Every artist is different. They have different subjects, different ways of painting or sculpting,
different styles. But when faced with a gallery of
artworks, can you figure out who did what? Come
play our newest game and see if you can match two
artworks – one in our galleries and one that isn’t to
figure out “Who Did It?” Bring a “Take-and-Make”
bag home to create your own artwork inspired by your museum visit. Supplies are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Children must be accompanied by an adult who is prepared to provide assistance. Groups of 10 or more who would like to participate in the Second Saturday’s
programs are encouraged to email education
curator, Lara Gautreau at lgaut@lsu.edu.
This program is made possible though support from Ms. Marjorie Childs.
