In-Person Teacher Workshop - Pairing Art and Text (ELA)

8th and G Street Northwest,Washington DC 20004

09 April, 2022

Description

Develop strategies for identifying artworks that can help build and extend student comprehension of texts. Join the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s team of educators for an in-person workshop session where we dig into the question: how do you choose artworks to pair with a text to deepen understanding? Deliberate together on what makes a good pairing, then head out into the galleries to get inspired and find “art-to-text" partners. This workshop is designed for educators of all grade levels and disciplines. Free | Registration required, space is limited. Note: This program may be held virtually pending evolving Smithsonian in-person event guidance. Additional details will be emailed to you the week prior to the event.
