Photography

Bring one of the United States largest art museums,  the curators, the educators and the phenomenal array of art collections right into your classroom.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art to offers a comprehensive video-conferencing program, "Photography". 

Highlighting works from the Museum's photographic collection, this lesson discusses the ways in which this medium is used to record and later our perception of the world around us.

Participation in this videoconference and educational  journey will encourage and enable students to be able to "read"  the significance of a photograph conveying a message above the fold of a newspaper.  Through this inter-disciplinary program,  students will  express themselves using  Art, Language Arts, Math and Photography.

The program includes lessons, activities, and resources that will support an extraordinary learning experience.  Students will have an opportunity to explore the wonderful world of art while interacting with museum curators and educators without leaving the classroom.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art offers a fascinating view to the world of art with exciting collections including Asian Art, European Decorative Arts, Costumes and Textiles, Prints, Drawings and Photography, European Painting and Sculpture, American Art, Indian Art, and Modern and Contemporary Art. 

This exciting museum offers adult, student and distance learning education program.
