School Visits

Traditionally, we open requests for School Visits beginning on June 1 for the following school year. We want to know if a different date might suit you better. Take our 10–second survey to let us know how we may best serve your scheduling needs. The change would take effect for the 2009–10 school year.
Take the survey now!

Current Exhibitions
|
|
Artists often keep sketchbooks in which they record the world they see around them using pencil, pen, or watercolor. In the exhibition André Kertész: Seven Decades students can see how one artist used his camera for this purpose.
Explore this exhibition with students in grades 6–12 and use the first lesson in our Exploring Photographs curriculum, "Methods of Visual Analysis" to have students "sketch" their own surroundings. Students can think about the time and place that Kertész tried to convey in his photographs, apply the same principles to their own photos, and assemble photographs in portfolios.
View the lesson "Exploring Photographs, Lesson 1–Methods of Visual Analysis."
