We are excited to offer in-person and live, virtual art presentations to support your teaching goals. Led by Phoenix Art Museum Docents, the Museum’s corps of skilled volunteer educators, Virtual Classroom Visits are designed to engage students in lively art-related conversations and cover a range of topics that complement classroom curriculum and prepare students for a Museum visit.
Our classroom presentations feature seven unique tracks, including two ArtSmart presentations with optional hands-on activities to reinforce learning objectives, that spark interest and critical thinking while creating connections to visual-art awareness and Phoenix Art Museum.
Reservations are required for all classroom presentations and must be made at least four weeks in advance, pending availability. Submit your information below.
CLASSROOM PRESENTATION REQUEST FORMDesigned to engage young children and introduce them to basic art-appreciation skills and vocabulary. Students identify subject matter and types of two- or three- dimensional art and discuss purposes of art.
Students learn how artworks from around the world are connected through common themes of identity, values, and culture.
Students explore the history, geography, and diversity of Arizona through the eyes of regional artists, while learning the concepts of contour, color, contrast, realism, and abstraction. Optional hands-on project: Arizona-themed collages.
Students build on their 6th-grade social studies curriculum by exploring the history of China through the eyes of regional artists. Optional hands-on project: Chinese calligraphy scrolls.
By discussing a limited number of objects, students learn how to describe, analyze, and interpret works of art, while practicing critical and creative-thinking skills. They gain confidence in their ability to look at art and make informed judgments.
Students and teachers are introduced to Phoenix Art Museum and what to expect when they visit.
Students examine artworks using scientific inquiry strategies. They form and test hypotheses and draw conclusions about the potential meanings of artworks to discover the shared vocabulary of the arts and sciences. They also learn how artists apply STEAM concepts in the creation and composition of their artworks.
All PhxArt Virtual Classroom Visits can be presented on the video platform (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet) of your choice for a fee of $25 per presentation. Reservations must be made four weeks in advance.
Title-I school? Free or reduced-cost Virtual Classroom Visits are available for Title-I schools through the Museum’s education endowment and grants.*
