Csws Portland Art Museum Learning Guide

Description:

Learning Guides facilitate experiences at the Portland Art Museum for K-12 students during class visits. They create a welcoming, inclusive environment where students of all ages feel a sense of belonging and know their voices are valued. Learning Guides engage groups of 8 – 12 students in close looking, discussion, and activities with three to five artworks for about 45 minutes. The schedule is Wednesday and Friday from 9:30am to 1:30pm and two additional hours of research, which can be done remotely.
