Art Talks

Through our free Art Talks programs, our Educators will bring the Museum into your classroom! All programming incorporates Utah Core Standards. 

TO SCHEDULE: email Caley Abilez at CAbilez@springville.org.

Elementary School Programs

        Studio Experience (Grades K-6): A 30 minute art-making experience that focuses on drawing figures. Offered Tuesday - Thursday. Students will learn new figure drawing skills by observing and discussing works of art from the Museum's Permanent Collection.

        Kid Curators (Grades 3-6): The Kid Curators program uses Visual and Language Arts core standards to reinforce the "main idea," while learning how to curate an exhibition. Students work in groups using images from the Museum’s permanent collection to craft their own art show, writing their own main idea and using images of art from the Museum's permanent collection as supporting ideas. This 3rd-6th grade, hour-long program is held in your classroom. 

        Professional Development (for teachers): This is a 30 minute discussion led our Museum Educators for K-12 teachers who want to integrate art in the classroom. We model Visual Thinking Strategies that can be adapted into various subjects. Teachers leave with more tools to integrate art into the classroom. 

Middle School Program

        Your Community (Grades 6-9): This program focuses on community, why classroom communities are important, and how being a unique individual helps to make a community stronger. Through the exploration of artwork from the Museum’s Permanent Collection. Students will discuss diverse communities found in art, play relevant community-building games, and create a class community quilt. A pre-visit packet (given to teachers upon scheduling a date) provides activities for arts integration before and after the Art Talks presentation.
