Lesson for Pre-Kindergarten: Paint and Play
Developed with ECE teachers, our pilot pre-k lesson is designed to spark wonder and inspire joy. Pre-K students will explore during this multi-part experience in the classroom and/or at the Museum. Children will play to discover materials and express their feelings.
Lesson for Grades K-5: You Are an Artist!
Students will explore all the ways they can be artists. Young artists will explore their imaginations, look closely at Clyfford Still’s art, and express their ideas. Every artist will receive a sketchbook to record their observations and ideas.
Lesson for Grades 6-12: Art and Ideas
Students will explore the ways artists communicate ideas and how viewers interpret them. Teachers and students can choose from a menu of mini-workshops that invite students to develop and share interpretations of Still’s art, uncover historical context, reflect on their identities and communities, and create their own artistic responses.
