Teacher Guides from the Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney Museum of American Art offers links to specific works in its Teacher's Collection along with audio and written descriptions. The Teacher's Collection and Teacher's Guides are intended to be used by educators before and after a museum visit. The guides provide information about selected artists and works of art, topics for classroom discussion, writing activities, and art projects that introduce the key ideas of an exhibition. They also provide tips on how to facilitate an open-ended discussion with students about a particular exhibit and foster their interest in the study of art.
