ART 21 at PAM!


You are invited to a presentation of Art21 educator resources at the Portland Art Museum.

Local educators who participated in the Art21 Educators program have partnered with the Portland Art Museum to present segments of Season 6 and share about educator resources designed to support K-12 teachers who are interested in bringing contemporary art, artists, and themes into classroom teaching and learning.

On April 26th at 5:30 the Art Museum will host an information session featuring season 6 clips of artists David Altmejd, Catherine Opie and Robert Mangold.  Educators will be on hand to share and answer questions about how they have used Art 21 resources to support and broaden their curricular focus to include inquiry into contemporary issues and ways of thinking through contemporary art.

Hillsboro School District Art teachers, Cynthia Schubert, Kelda Van Patten and Rebecca Buchanan were three out of 15 educators selected nationwide to participate in the 2010-2011 Art21 Educator program in New York City. They worked with the other participants and Art21 education staff to create lessons and education resources. Come hear them share their resources and expertise.

If you are interested meet in the Trustee Board Room (4th floor) in the Mark Building of the Portland Art Museum at 5:30. The presentation of Art21 video clips and resources will last roughly an hour with an opportunity to see work from one featured artist, Robert Mangold, in PAM’s permanent collection. Feel free to bring snacks, paper, and your questions.
