The Sordoni Art Gallery鈥檚 redesigned K-12 Program provides age- and subject-adapted tours and hands-on workshops to encourage an appreciation of the arts and an understanding of its role in society through direct engagement. Our programming is based around the Visual Art Curriculum Framework and The Standards Aligned System (SAS) developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
About the Program
The K-12 program lasts approximately two hours and can be adapted to fit your time scale. A guided tour will introduce your students to the artists, technology, and historical events that shape the exhibition. Next, the class will view the exhibition independently to think critically about the work. Finally, we will apply our knowledge in a hands-on workshop that will allow your class to bring home their own masterpieces.
