Program Description

In partnership with the Tilles Center and your school district, this full day professional development program explores the parallels between the visual arts and the performing arts. Administrators and educators, K-5 can discover how to use the Museum and the works of art as a resource for teaching. The workshops are object/art centered, inquiry based and are designed to engage viewers in a participatory and meaningful experience. Discussions in the galleries are facilitated by education staff and methodologies used are open-ended and multi-disciplinary. Educators will discuss the connections between what they learn during the workshop and their discipline. They will leave with sample activities that can be used in the classroom. This program includes an opportunity for hands-on art making.

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.
