D75-23-4996: Identity through Art: A curricular resource for District 75 Art Teachers
Arts 2023/2024
Description: Join us for a day of fostering connections between District 75 schools and Art Resources to support curricular planning for the 2024-2025 School year.
Amanda McFee, Director of Arts Programs- D75 Citywide Programs, has worked with MoMA’s Access Team to develop a curricular guide for District 75 art teachers to develop lesson plans that connect identity-based learning with the arts. The curricular resources in this guide have been piloted in D75 classrooms, and PD cycles, and reviewed by an Arts Advisory Team of D75 Arts Teachers.
This day-long professional development program is open to arts teachers, school administrators, and representatives from cultural institutions to learn about the curricular resources and to help connect schools with local arts institutions that can offer interactive programs to schools. In the morning, we will review the curriculum, and, in the afternoon, we will have breakout sessions that more deeply engage with questions about learning adaptations.
This curricular guide features eight units that can be adapted to the classroom to connect the elements of identity-based learning in CR-SE with the goals and benchmarks of the visual arts blueprint. The program is designed to support teachers in District 75, featuring open-ended art projects that are adaptable for your classroom, connecting with art through identity-based learning strategies, and ideas for increasing visual literacy and communication through observation and class discussion. This guide highlights works in MoMA’s collection by modern and contemporary artists who reflect the diversity of New York City students and introduces them to today’s expanded canon of art history.
