Close Encounters is The Baltimore Museum of Art’s free multiple-visit program for fourth-grade students in Baltimore City Public Schools. Begun in 1982, Close Encounters enhances visual literacy using works of art in the Museum’s collection. Through direct observation, dialogue, writing, and studio work, Close Encounters supports Baltimore City Public Schools’ Visual Art curriculum for fourth graders. Each program consists of five sessions. Museum educators visit the classroom initially, and then students come to the Museum three times for tours. On the fourth visit to the Museum, students take part in an art-making project led by a teaching artist. In addition to sketchbooks/journals used on tours, students receive backpacks with colored pencils, watercolors, and clay to make art at home
