Through the Honolulu Museum of Art's collection of landscape paintings, students will explore places around the world as they compare the environments of cities, countryside, and seascapes, and discover how landscapes have changed over time. Students will see how Hawai’i, mainland America, and Europe looked long ago and will understand that artists document and express changes in the world.
Artwork on this tour:

Students will create a landscape collage to voice their respect or concern for a special place.
