This activity is designed to be done while conducting a virtual art museum tour.
Before the meeting:
- Complete the “Before the Meeting” items in the Virtual Tour of Art activity.
During the meeting:
- Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share the following about looking at art:
- As you look at a piece of artwork more closely, what stories do you imagine?
- What mood or feelings does it create?
- What shapes can you identify?
- Is there a color that is used more often than others?
- Does it look like real life?
- If not, is it abstract? One type of art, called abstract art, does not. Abstract artists hope their work will give you a certain feeling. Some abstract artists draw their designs out first in detail. Others just start painting and hope their feelings and thoughts are seen in their art.
- Different people will see different meanings in art.
- After the virtual tour share what your favorite art was and why.
