Programs K-12 Students
The Chazen Museum's education department, with assistance from curators and other specialists, develops a variety of educational materials to prepare K-12 teachers and their students for a group visit. The following Materials for Education packets, which consist of slides and accompanying texts, related to the permanent collection, are regularly available:
- What is an Art Museum?
- Sun, Sea, and Land
- Ancient and Classical Art
- American Art
- 20th Century Sculpture and Sculptors' Drawings
In addition, special educator's materials are developed for selected temporary exhibitions.
Teachers should discuss their needs for pre-tour materials when making a tour reservation. All educators' packets are mailed to the teacher one week prior to the museum visit. Teachers are requested to return these materials to the docent on the day of the tour.
Educational packets related to special temporary exhibitions may also be purchased by teachers from the Museum Shop. In addition to the thematic educator's packets, fine art vocabulary lists are provided to classes taking a gallery tour in the French, German or Spanish language. Contact the curator of education for more information.
