Art Partners, a museum-school collaboration, enriches educational experiences through engagement with visual art tailored to meet the needs of each class. Classes visit 3 exhibits, developing visual literacy, communication skills, critical thinking, and self-expression in activities addressing various learning modalities. This in-depth program offers students an extended museum visit with time for sketching and writing in the galleries and a Family Pass for a return visit. By creating a welcoming environment to discover, share and reflect, the program aligns with the principles of NY State’s Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework. We strive to celebrate all voices and opinions, creating an environment of diversity and tolerance. Our exhibitions reflect a diversity of artists, styles, time periods, and geography and our programs encourage students to see their own life experiences as valued and integral to meaning making. The program develops visual literacy, communication skills, critical thinking, and self-expression. The program is inquiry-based, student-centered and we invite students of all learning styles and abilities including ENL students. Teachers participate in a Professional Development workshop and receive a Study Guide with exhibition images.
