The Detroit Institute of Arts' Student Tour Program uses an innovative educational approach that transforms looking at art into an interactive experience. Students are introduced to art from various eras and cultures. Using techniques that encourage extended observation and promote communication skills, students share their observations to find meaning in works of art. The program nurtures growth by giving students the opportunity to express their ideas, speculate, debate various points of view, and practice complex analysis. These critical thinking skills are the building blocks to successful learning.
