The museum also provides students who visit the museum on a school tour a NexGen membership, which entitles them to visit the museum with an adult guest at no cost until their 18<sup>th<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the museum serves approximately 40,000 students, grades 1-12, through its student tour program. Tours are designed for specific grade level ranges and are aligned with state content standards for history \/ social science and language arts.&nbsp;They are conducted by volunteer docents who receive training in art history (with an emphasis on LACMA&rsquo;s collection) and in working with students.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers can choose from a list of ten regularly scheduled tours of the permanent collection, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsTheTours.aspx#tale\" target=\"_blank\">Art Tells a Tale<\/a> (for grades 1-5), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsTheTours.aspx#writing\" target=\"_blank\">Art and Creative Writing<\/a> (for grades 5-12) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsTheTours.aspx#cultures\" target=\"_blank\">Art of Many Cultures<\/a> (for grades 6-12). Tours are also offered for some special exhibitions, such as <em>David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy<\/em>, which runs from April 5, 2011 through June 17, 2011.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"full-image-inline ssNonEditable\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cla\/legacy-images\/organizations\/LACMAtours2.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1292394196990\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><span class=\"thumbnail-caption\" style=\"width: 600px;\">Photo via LACMA web site<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Julie Feibelmann, LACMA&rsquo;s Docent Council Coordinator, &ldquo;the museum provides an exclusive experience for grades 1-12, allowing them to tour the museum while we are closed to the general public. The fact that we break the students into smaller groups [generally not exceeding 10 students per docent] provides a unique and more intimate learning environment, which is often a sharp contrast to the crowded classroom experience that many students have.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While admission and tours are free of charge to school groups that want to participate in docent-guided tours, the cost of providing transportation to and from the museum is prohibitive for many. LACMA tries to address this need by providing a limited number of buses to LAUSD title 1 schools on a one-bus-per-school, first come first served basis, upon written request. You can find more transportation related information on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsSchoolToursInfo.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">School Tour FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a teacher who is looking for new ways to engage your students in the learning process and expose them to art, I highly recommend LACMA&rsquo;s excellent tour program. If you&rsquo;re a parent of one or more students in grades K-12 and your school doesn&rsquo;t currently send kids on the LACMA tours, I suggest you pass this information along to your children&rsquo;s teachers, PTA and\/or administrators and encourage them to take advantage of this program.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the school tour program, please visit these sites:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsPlan.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Planning Your School Visit<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsSchoolToursInfo.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">School Tour FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/programs\/TeachersSchoolsTheTours.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Tour Descriptions and Pre-Visit Guides<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One reason I became an avid museumgoer as an adult and developed an appreciation for the arts was because I was regularly taken to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and other museums when I was a child.
