I have lived in the Richmond area for almost 34 years now and can honestly say that I had no idea of the educational resources offered by the VMFA.
Growing up in Chesterfield County, field trips to the VMFA were fairly frequent. I have fond memories of walking through the galleries with either my teacher or a tour guide and hearing about various works of art. One thing I don’t remember, however, is interpreting the pieces. I want to say if we had, I would remember it as the interpretation gives more meaning to the piece and creates a memorable experience.
