Take a behind-the-scenes look at the Brooklyn Museum’s galleries, resources, and programs, and develop lesson plans, inspired by the Museum’s collection, that support the diverse needs and learning styles of your students. Gain engaging, multimodal strategies for facilitating meaningful interactions with art, and design classroom studio experiences that build skills for analyzing, interpreting, and creating works of art. This course will illuminate each strand of the Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Visual Arts.
