Art Chats
These
broadcasts feature one artwork from Joslyn's collection to share
highlights about the artwork and artist (if known). They are a great way
to kick off your artful lesson plan or infuse your curriculum with art
history.
Art Criticism
For
these connections, work with a Joslyn educator to select a work of art
to examine with your class. We will use the art criticism
method--describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate--to study the object
and engage in an educated discussion about art. Together, you and your
students will discover how to use this method and will be encouraged to
try this with artworks in your classroom or school.
Art Museum Careers
Do you want to help your students think about possible career paths? During this program, we will cover the variety of jobs in an art museum–from educator to executive director. Students will consider their own skills as they learn about the recommended skills for each position as well as additional education.
Technology Requirements
Computer or tablet with the ability to project screen, webcam,
microphone, and speakers; connection is via Zoom, a web-based cloud
platform. We may also connect using your virtual platform; if your school's platform is not Zoom, a test connection prior to scheduled connection is required.
Booking
Four weeks advance notice required. Programs may be scheduled Mondays and Tuesdays, 8 am–3 pm or Wednesdays–Friday, 8 am–10 am.
Artwork Disclaimer
Sometimes the permanent collection artworks go off view in the galleries for the broadcast date you selected. We will work with you to choose another artwork or use digital images.
