From the Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! We've asked staff to pick their favorite work on display in the museum. Visitor Services Security Guard Michele Andrews has picked another, this time a photograph by Kirsty Mitchell.
Here in the education department we are often greeted with the familiar refrain of “I’m not sure an Art Museum is the place for my family” or “What will I do with my family in the Art Museum?” when we invite visitors out of the Midwest summer heat and into our wonderfully air-conditioned building. Maybe it’s a misconception about art being stuffy, or that people without art degrees feel unprepared to take their families through an art exhibition, or that art is just plain boring. Whichever one happens to be the case, taking kids through an art exhibit can be easy and fun! All you have to do is ask one simple question: What do you see?
