This Learning Lab from the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) will introduce you to the elements of art and provide a new means to engage with the museum's collection. 

This Learning Lab is meant to be used as you travel through the Visual Arts Gallery in the Culture Expressions exhibition on the fourth floor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).

The guiding questions of this Learning Lab are

• What are the elements of art?
• How can we recognize the elements of art in different art works?
• What can we learn by analyzing the elements of art?
