Teacher Workshops

Most Teacher Workshops include close observation of art in the galleries, mini-lectures, hands-on activities, and creative ideas for integrating art in the classroom. Teachers receive a CD with images and extensive background information. Workshops are usually held on Saturdays and last about three hours. For schedules and registration information, send your e-mail and street address to Linda Andre at landre@artbma.org.
