A Special Invitation to
5th-12th Grade Educators

The web-based educational component of Tradition/Innovation is intended to make museum visits more meaningful by providing a wealth of related art and cross-curricular lessons. It is also intended to make the masterworks selected for this touring exhibit accessible to educators and students who are unable to see the tour in person. Using the on-line galleries, educators can explore various aspects of the collected artworks, and the concept of mastery in traditional and contemporary crafts of the South.
