Art Today: Walker Art Center School Tours
Engage your students with contemporary art at the Walker Art Center. Interactive K–12 tour themes highlight connections between visual arts, social studies, media arts, and language arts.
Tour topics designed for visual arts classes:
Elements and Principles of Contemporary Art (grades K–12)
Starting with the basic elements of visual art, such as line, shape, color, and texture, the tour explores concepts such as appropriation, time, space, and hybridity in the work of contemporary artists.
Media, Materials & Meaning (grades K–12)
This tour looks at the myriad, often unconventional ways in which artists have reshaped and challenged traditional forms and techniques of painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking.
So, Why Is This Art? (grades 6–12)
Using works in the galleries to inspire thought and discussion, tour participants investigate questions such as: What is art? Should art be beautiful? Is art an object or a process? Should art be realistic? Can art change society?
Architecture for Art (grades 4–12)
These tours introduce students to the expanded Walker Art Center through an in-depth exploration of its new spaces and the processes used by the architects for designing the new building.
Tour topics designed for social studies and media art classes:
Visual Culture (grades K–12)
What is “visual culture”? How do artists reuse, remake, and transform it in their work? Tour participants explore these questions as they view the work of artists from the Pop Art movement in the 1960s through today who are inspired by the worlds of media and consumer culture.
Living in Our Time (grades K–12)
What does it mean to live in our time? This basic yet complex question is explored through the work of contemporary artists who address social and cultural themes ranging from personal identity to challenging issues of our world today.
Tour topics designed for language arts classes:
Writing through Art (grades 4–12)
Contemporary art is used as a catalyst for student writing. The Writing through Art tours can incorporate descriptive writing, critical essays, stories and narratives, or poetry. Select one type of writing or schedule multiple visits to experience all four. Students receive a free Writing through Art journal to use during their visit and to take back to the classroom. Teachers can submit finished student texts for posting on the Web site schools.walkerart.org/arttoday.
The Writing through Art Program is made possible by a MetLife Foundation Museum Connections Program grant.
Art Today: Hands-on Learning
Add more excitement to your tour by scheduling a hands-on activity in the Star Tribune Foundation Art Lab. Students roll up their sleeves and experiment with media, techniques, and concepts of contemporary art in projects linked to Art Today and special exhibition tours.

Global Lens Student Matinees
This May, the Walker Art Center in partnership with the Global Film Initiative, presents three feature films from Lebanon, the Philippines, and Iran that connect students with social studies, foreign language and media arts curricula and provide deeper engagement with contemporary film, cultural perspectives, and world events. Now in its fifth year, the Global Film Initiative supports filmmakers from some of the world’s most impoverished corners, and its public face, Global Lens, is one of the United States’ most lauded touring festivals of international film.
Three films have been specially selected for high school groups for their vivid portrayals or their home cultures and the potential of the stories to carry universal human appeal. Morning screenings are free and limited to 300 students. Curriculum guides and preview DVDs areavailable to teachers prior to the screening. Reservations can be made through the Education Department at 612.375.7609.
If the scheduled screening times don’t work for your class, free on-demand screenings for high school students of 30 or more can also be arranged May 7-18 through the Education Department.
