For Teachers
Use art to create meaningful connections between your students’ lives and other cultures and time periods. Gallery-based lessons spark curiosity, motivate students’ oral and written expression and critical thinking skills, and help fulfill your curriculum requirements*. You can choose from a variety of topics for your class visits. Sign up for hands-on workshops that focus on the creative process and provide experience with art materials and art making. We have curriculum guides, videos, artist profiles, and links to ECHOspace.org and other resources to enhance and complement your classroom activities.
