Context Travel is now offering two new walking seminars in its Family Program in New York City. Building the City, from Skyscrapers to Trains explores 42nd Street and some of its iconic structures using them as a textbook for an interactive three-hour walk focusing on how New York works. Led by an educator, practicing architect, or historian who uses such techniques as “learning to look” games and sketching, this walking tour is designed for children and their parents to participate together while learning.  Adventures in Modern Art, which also launches this fall, focuses on the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Families taking the walk will be guided on an exploration of the ways artists like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol have responded to the changing world around them through their creations. The tour is specifically designed for families with children from primary through middle school, and aims at stimulating an interactive discussion on art in its many and varied forms using activities such as treasure hunts or drawing exercises.  As with all Context Family walks, Building the City, the tours will be led by experts in modern art and architecture, trained in Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and Inquiry-Based Learning. Tours are entirely customizable and offered only on a private basis at $250 per party.
