In-School ProgramsArtists-In-Residency Workshops Whether you teach art, science, reading, math, or any other subject, the Museum can custom-design an artist-in-residency workshop for you. Led by professional North Carolina artists, these workshops will help further your curriculum objectives while exposing your students to the creative process. The Museum will help conceptualize the workshop, contract the artist, and provide supplies. Past workshops have presented themes as diverse as good citizenship, American history, environmental art, and how families express their cultures through celebrations, rituals, and traditions. To schedule a workshop, please call (919) 664-6820. Online resourcesArtNCVisit ArtNC and discover works of art, interdisciplinary lesson plans, and printable images. Search by subject area, grade level, and geographic region. The curriculum themes model ways of integrating art into general class instruction. Each theme includes background on art from the collection, short classroom activity ideas, in-depth lesson plans, and related vocabulary. Third-grade Art in the Schools ProgramThe third-grade Art in the Schools program introduces students to works at the NCMA that teach about communities around the world. The program is divided into three parts—Meet the Museum, Uncover the Stories, Explore Communities—that help prepare students for a visit to the Museum. The PDF file (requires Acrobat Reader) is a teacher’s version of the program, including information on the selected works, discussion questions and previsit activities. The PowerPoint file (requires PowerPoint or Powerpoint Reader for PC or Mac), which can be presented to students in the classroom, features images of the works of art and streamlined questions drawn from the teacher’s version. We would like to know what you think of this resource. Please complete this survey, and e-mail it back to us with your comments and suggestions for how we might improve the third-grade program.
