Tours

Dunedin Fine Art Center, a Pinellas County School approved tour site, would like to share another new unique and wonderful educational opportunity for your teachers and students. DFAC offers school tours starting in September and continuing through the remainder of the school year.

Our tours consist of a 30-45 minute gallery discussion involving science, history, social influence and impact, principles and elements of design, creative problem solving and humor. The paintings, photographs and sculptures will address art and related thematic topics.

From the gallery, students proceed to the hands-on interactive gallery where they explore, create and build on concepts and images from the original artworks seen in the gallery. Time in the hands-on area is 30-45 minutes. To conclude the third 30 minute component of the tour, students gather in the studio for a teacher directed exhibit related activity.

Total tour time is two hours and the Center offers a discounted fee of three dollars per student. Sunshine State Standards and FCAT Standards can easily be identified and correlated to all three stages of our tours. We hope your teachers will be able to take advantage of this special resource in this community.
