PROGRAM OVERVIEW
VIRTUAL TOUR WITH MOCA EDUCATORS
Teachers will be able to access to pre- and post-tour curriculum online, including recommended readings, recorded step-by-step art-making activities, and curriculum standards to enhance each student’s museum experience. The program also includes a 45-minute prerecorded virtual tour of select galleries led by a Museum Educator in our purpose-developed 360° Virtual Tour Platform.
ART KITS
Art Kits are delivered to schools and include general art supplies for students to use for both the projects associated with the curriculum packet of lessons and to foster additional independent projects. Every student will receive their own Art Kit.
CURRICULUM
All curriculum is designed for students in grades K-5th grade and is aligned with current state and national curriculum standards. Curriculum packets will be delivered digitally to teachers in advance of their tour. Curriculum packets include:
- 2 pre-tour activities that explore art criticism and promote cross-curricular connections between visual art and other subject areas such as math, science, or history.
- 2 post-tour art-making activities that reinforce themes from the guided tour and promote reflection on the creative process.
Total estimated curriculum time: 6 hours per student
