Fourth Grade’s Beginner Tour features an introduction to art museums, museum manners, the Sheldon building and staff, and important objects in the collection. It includes historical background and fun conversations about a variety of art works. Fifth Grade’s Permanent Collection Tour explores the current exhibition of works from Sheldon’s permanent collection, focusing particularly on paintings and works on paper. Volunteer docents lead small groups to showcase a variety of artworks.

All of our young artists will start the year with our Art to Remember project. Each grade will be working on a different approach to the self-portrait.
