Bringing Your Class for a Tour?
Are you bringing your class to the Wexner Center soon? Ask about scheduling an Expanded Classroom experience. Following a tour of the Six Solos exhibition, students work closely with artist Speak Williams to think and write creatively about artworks in the gallery. This workshop is designed to get students thinking about space, environment, and community, while considering how identities can be shaped by places and spaces and vice versa. Find links to current and upcoming exhibitions here.Pages: Art and Literacy
High School students participating in the Pages program visit the Wexner Center at least three times during the school year, experience visual arts, performing arts, and film projects, and develop their own responses in poetry, prose, and artwork. Applications are now being accepted for 2011-2012. Find out more about the program here.Art & Environment
High school students in 11th and 12th grade from all over central Ohio spent winter and spring 2010 exploring art and environmental issues and earning credit through their own schools in the half-year Art & Environment course at the Wexner Center. Find out more about the class on the Art & Environment blog and urge your students to apply for the fall 2011 course (the application deadline is May 1, 2011).
