Whitney Museum of American Art: For Teachers

The Whitney Museum of American Art has been in the news of late due to its sensational new Renzo Piano-designed building. With its vast holdings of American 20th century art, the Museum is also considered one of the world's top art institutions. The Whitney website boasts an excellent page dedicated to teachers. Here, educators will discover Activities focused on works of art and special exhibitions, Teacher Guides to be used before and after a Museum visit (for Grades K-5 and Grades 6-12), and Teaching Tips more generally. For instance, one activity for elementary school students asks learners to engage with Edward Hopper's famous painting, Early Sunday Morning (1930), by imagining themselves into the scene, working in small groups, and questioning the themes and rhetoric of the art. Of course, the page also links to the Whitney's vast online digital collection, allowing teachers to engage students with the art work without ever leaving the classroom.
