Programs K-12 Students
Trained docents will travel to Dane County schools to introduce the museum and its collections to K-12 students and prepare them for a museum visit. Teachers may choose from the following outreach programs that are currently offered:
- How to Look at a Painting
- Portraiture
- American Indian Baskets
- Daily Life in Ancient Times
Docents, using visual aids, hands-on activities, and class participation will adjust content and presentation style to specific age levels. Programs may last from 45 minutes to 1 hour depending upon class length. Docent visits to Dane County schools are by appointment only and must be arranged at least one month in advance. Outreach programs are not self-contained; a follow-up field trip to the Chazen Museum is expected within the academic year.
Educators wanting more information or wishing to arrange an outreach visit should contact the curator of education.
