Milwaukee Art Museum: Teacher Resources

This Teacher Resources section of the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) website provides a selection of materials designed primarily for K-12 teachers, but also of interest to anyone involved in teaching both formally and informally. As a bonus, many of the resources can be used in online learning environments. Several types of materials exist, including some curated to align with works of art from the Museum's collection. For example, the Baylor Coloring Pages provide downloadable coloring book pages based on different artists' works. Currently, there are coloring pages for Kehinde Wiley, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miro, among others. Under Teaching with Art, visitors will find three teaching strategies: Inquiry, Visual thinking, and Choosing a Work of Art. Finally, the Writing + Art section provides more than two dozen examples of exercises that merge creativity and communication skills. One prompt asks students to write a letter to persuade an adult in their life why they would love a particular work of art and compare that letter with a text they might send to a friend their own age. Another puts writers into the shoes of Ernest Hemingway, with only six words to write the life story of a portrait from MAM.
