VMFA Distance Learning sessions are designed to be student-centered explorations. Use this video to introduce students to the Distance Learning Educator and the kind of interaction they will have during a session.

Students can use this guided looking exercise to spend thoughtful time with a religious work of art and become curious about the way art can help communicate sacred and profound ideas.
This interactive exercise may be used to set the stage for a Distance Learning session or for continued engagement after a visit.
