WORKSHOPS
Incorporate Photography Into Your Curriculum
Designed for teachers of grades K-12, this 1-hour workshop will demonstrate the Visual Thinking Strategy and illustrate how photography can be integrated with other subjects such as history/social studies, science, language arts/English and the visual arts. The workshop is also available at MoPA or at your school site.

Special group reservations for up to 15
$60 at MoPA, $85 at your site

Incorporate Video Into Your Curriculum
Many of the skills used in movie-making translate into aspects of curriculum standards as well as into practical terms. Educators can build on these concepts to help develop students’ communication skills, both through visual and verbal language. This 1-hour workshop will address how movie-making can assist students in realizing the power of words and moving images when presented together, and how elements of composition, motion, sound, and music culminate to effectively communicate ideas. Scheduled workshops at the museum have been set up for individual enrollment, but group appointments are available at your convenience.
