Teacher Workshops
These workshops give teachers the opportunity to preview a special exhibition, receive a teacher packet on the subject, and try out activities based on the art discussed. They are an ideal way for teachers to bring art into the classroom or prepare their class for a trip to the museum.
Suitcase Tours
Bring the museum to your classroom! The docents of the Georgia Museum of Art have created a traveling tour for elementary schools in the Athens area. This presentation was inspired by Alfred Heber Holbrook who took his collection of nineteenth and twentieth-century paintings throughout Georgia in his "Artmobile" and shared these works with schools and communities around the state. The paintings from Mr. Holbrook's collection form the core of the Georgia Museum of Art's Permanent Collection. The museum opened in 1948, and Mr. Holbrook was the museum's first director.
The Georgia Museum of Art's Suitcase Tour is designed for students in grades K-3, and features the works of five artists from the Permanent Collection. Through a discussion of these paintings and related hands-on activities, students will learn about the elements of art and gain a better understanding of how to look and talk about art. Follow-up activities and information about the museum are also included with this tour.
These fifty-minute presentations are free of charge and limited to thirty students per presentation. For more information and to schedule a Suitcase Tour, please contact the education department at the Georgia Museum of Art at (706) 542-4662.
