EDUCATION AND MEDIA PROGRAMS
The New Museum of Contemporary Art offers an exciting range of educational programs for adults and youth, from public programs, group tours, and family days that provide more in-depth information on New Museum exhibitions, to digital culture performances, in-school collaborations, and community-based initiatives.

G-CLASS

G: Class (The Global Classroom) is an innovative arts education program established by the New Museum of Contemporary Art. It is the mission of G:Class to empower youth to think critically about global issues and locate themselves within a global context through contemporary art, architecture and design.

G:Class helps high school teachers engage their students in three major ways:

1) Curriculum and Professional Development
G:Class works with teachers to seamlessly integrate contemporary art, design, and architecture with a global focus into their existing curricula including, but not limited to, literary arts, social studies, and studio art classes. G:Class also offers supplemental professional development workshops to help teachers realize the full potential of contemporary art and visual culture as an interdisciplinary teaching tool.

2) G:Class Seminar Series
G:Class brings recognized artists, designers, and architects into the classroom to run workshops and seminars with students, directly linking to the classroom curriculum. The G:Class Seminar Series provides students with the rare opportunity to meet and interact with artists and other creative professionals to address current global issues and simultaneously promote the arts as potential career options for young people.

3) G:Class Website
The G:Class Website will connect and activate a global network of teachers, students, and artists through online forums, multi-collaborator projects, and other digital resources. The G:Class website serves as an integral learning environment for teachers and students and will utilize G:Class’ ever-evolving network.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

http://www.guggenheim.org/artscurriculum/lessons/start.php

This area of the museum’s Web site is to provide teachers with curriculum materials to support the use of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s exhibitions and collections both during school visits and in the classroom. This site concentrates on recent exhibitions, but their aim is to develop a comprehensive range of lessons for educators on art and artists in the museum’s collection.


Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum

http://www.educatorresourcecenter.org/

Many of the Museum’s programs present “design” as a verb, engaging audiences in the design process, and bringing participants closer to design professionals and resources. Conferences, studio visits, panels, and workshops are just some of the continuing education programs offered to public audiences. In addition, our educator programs have become models throughout the country, demonstrating the potential for design to enhance teaching and learning across the K-12 curriculum.
