Custom Teacher In-Services
The Education Department at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is dedicated to providing opportunities for educators to develop a deeper understanding of modern and contemporary art, and connect with the Museum as a resource for the classroom through creative programming. The Modern offers tailored workshops, by request, for area art and art history educators from all grade levels. In-services revolve around the Museum’s current exhibition, providing an in-depth, unique learning experience. During each customized workshop, educators spend time in the galleries with Museum staff addressing a variety of topics, including formal issues, historical connections, social context, the artist’s background, and interpretation of the artwork; sessions also include a studio and/or writing segment that emphasizes ideas central to the artwork in the galleries.
Please call Erin Starr White (817.840.2118 or email estarr@themodern.org) for more information.
Educator Art Cards
Art Cards provide an introduction to selected works in the Modern’s permanent collection. Produced specifically to help educators prepare their students for upcoming visits to the Museum, the Cards provide background information and broader contexts for understanding the individual works.
