December Theme: Works of Art

"Art Match-Up" Download
We had a fun Gathering Activity where you match up Art works with their Titles and Artists. Here is is a link to that Gathering Activity displays and handouts for your convenience, in a pdf format.

More Museum Info
Chris has provided this additional information about Museums in December:
"There are 4 museums on campus that Cub Scouts might be interested in visiting, but only one that focuses on art. For the month of December, the one to see is the Museum of Art. They currently have an exhibit that shows modern "self-portraits" - some from students as well as adults, and with a very modern approach, including technology. One can go online and pull down a zip-file of images to see some of what is exhibited. For information, go to moa.byu.edu. The hours are Mon-Fri 10:00am to 6:00pm, Sat 12:00-5:00. Thursdays they stay open until 9:00pm. They offer tours - I think that would be the best option, since the displays will be more interesting to Cub Scouts if they are accompanied by someone explaining them. To schedule a tour over the phone, call (801) 422-1140. Tours must be scheduled AT LEAST A WEEK IN ADVANCE. Average tour length is between 30 and 45 minutes. For grades K-6, 1 chaperon is needed for every 6 students.

"Best part - admission is free of charge."

Plus, I have uploaded the flyer about the museums, plays and concerts that are available in the area in December. Get it here.
