Student Curators
This teacher resource outlines the process of exhibition production for students. Classes can use this curriculum to create an exhibition from start to finish. Students will have the opportunity to take on job roles based on work done in professional galleries and museums. Your students will have opportunities to be creative and innovative, take leadership roles, and practice collaboration, critique, and compromise while also aiding in their own work as artists, learners, and people.
