For Educators - Create you own gallery activity
You might divide your students into groups and challenge them to use the images of the artwork and/or the information about the artists to create virtual galleries of their own. For each gallery, they should come up with a title that defines the theme of the exhibit and a curator’s statement citing the reasons they chose the works they did for this gallery. They could present their “gallery” as a PowerPoint for the other groups. You could get them started by suggesting possible themes such as:
Introductory Section Contents:
Overview of the Exhibit
Regional/State Maps of Exhibiting Artists
Pre- and Post-Visit activities
Themed Galleries/Lesson Plans
