Artworks Classroom Visits for Elementary Schools
                                                     hands on art lessons in your classrooms

ARTworks is an Art Museum program designed to
take hands-on art lessons into classrooms across the
eastern Idaho region. Since starting the program, we
have taken art lessons to over 100 classrooms in six
school districts in eastern Idaho, reaching over
3000 students.


ARTworks lessons are available at no cost to third and
fourth grade classrooms. Each lesson is appoximately
2.5 to 3 hours.


Lessons are related to current museum exhibits and
provide hands-on exploration of 2- or 3-dimensional art
processes, art history, art appreciation and
technical instruction.


Lessons are led by a Museum sanctioned professional
artist and are aligned with the Idaho Humanities
Standards.


Pre- and post-visit curriculum guides are available to
use in the classroom with curriculum links designed
for third and fourth grade students.


After the classroom lesson, classes are invited to visit
the Museum for a follow-up exhibit tour and related
art lesson.


To schedule a classoom visit, please fill out the Classroom Visit Request Form and return it to the Museum by mail or FAX. To schedule a visit by phone or email, please contact Alexa Stanger at 524-7777 or astanger@theartmuseum.org. All visits must be scheduled a minimum of two weeks in advance.
