Students and coaches,

Quiz Bowl questions are due to Diane Urban, VAC Quiz Bowl Chair, by Sunday January 20, 2013.  Please email the questions, answers, and sources that you utilize to develop each question to Diane at waeavacquizbowl@gmail.com.  It is advantageous for your team to create Quiz Bowl questions as they may be used the Regional and State Quiz Bowl Competitions. Please create questions that use the artist name as the answer or other relevant information related to this year’s artists, Questions that are based on images related to this year’s artist or their artwork are encouraged, as long as the image and source of the image is provided. Please refer to the 2013 study guide, located under the organizational materials of the Regional Documents for sample questions.  Please do not send true/false questions.


Thanks in advance,

Danielle Penney, B.F.A., M.A.

Visual Arts Classic Workshop at the Milwaukee Art Museum

Feb 5 & 6, 2013 (choose one date), 12:45–2:30 PM

 Prepare your Visual Arts Classic team with a workshop at the Museum. Students will explore the history and context of works of art that either relate to or are by artists in this year's competition theme. (Please note: Many, but not all, of the artists in the theme are represented in the Museum’s Collection.)

Workshop Structure:
12:45-2:00 PM Docent-Led Tour Students will participate in a 1 hour, 15 minute long docent-led tour linking real works of art to the competition theme. They will have the special opportunity to visit the Herzfeld Study Center and view works on paper in a curatorial area that is normally closed to the public.

2:00-2:30 PM Self-Guiding Time Since many VAC groups visit from out-of-town and this is their first visit to the Museum, this year we are including self-guide time for groups to explore the Museum further. Note that a chaperone must still accompany students on this portion. Our docents will assist in pointing your group to areas of particular interest to you. Teachers might use this time to allow students to take photographs, look more closely at works shown on the tour, synthesize your visit, or begin any special projects you are leading as VAC Coach.

More Details:
Grades 9–12
1¾ hours
$4 per student, 1 chaperone per 10 students required
