The Neuberger Museum of Art has created a series of 14 free art exploration videos appropriate for use in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. Designed by Diana Puglisi, Curator of Education, Youth & Adult Programs, alongside volunteer museum educators, the videos guide students through our collection artworks using questioning techniques that encourage critical thinking through the lens of the students’ own personal experiences.
Please share the news about the videos and accompanying asynchronous learning resources with the teachers or homeschooling parents you know. Contact Diana Puglisi with questions and requests for more information.
