In-Service Workshops
Learn how art enriches your students' experience through one of the museum's in-service workshops, held either at the museum, at your school, or online. Schedule one of the workshops below or request a workshop customized to your unique needs by contacting educate@philamuseum.org. All workshops include teaching resources designed to support arts integration.
Art and Language Arts
Art is a natural prompt for writing: it provides visual learners with inspiration, struggling writers with a subject, and all students with an opportunity for reflection and personal connections. In this workshop, teachers participate in a variety of model writing activities drawn from the art museum's teacher resource Looking to Write, Writing to Look. These activities include narrative, descriptive, expository, and persuasive writing, as well as poetry, and can be adapted to a variety of grade levels and any work of art.
Looking Closely, Thinking Critically
Art is a powerful tool for sharpening critical-thinking skills. In this workshop, teachers participate in questioning strategies and activities designed to elevate students' observations and analysis.
Art as a Primary Source
In this workshop, teachers practice a step-by-step process for observing, interpreting, connecting to context, and drawing conclusions about what an artwork has to say about a moment in history.

Art in the Early Childhood Classroom
Explore how the combination of art, play, and early literacy create amazing experiences for young learners. This hands-on workshop provides teachers of grades pre-K–2 with age-appropriate, object-based strategies for teaching art through play and storytelling. Educators participate in close looking activities and discussions in the galleries, and develop meaningful art projects for the classroom.
Request an art-making activity in the studios for an additional fee.
Creating Community
The museum provides the ideal setting to slow down and practice skills that foster purposeful, impactful relationships among colleagues. In this workshop, museum educators guide your team through interactive gallery activities that emphasize close looking, active listening, collaborative problem solving, and self-reflection. Content can be adapted to meet the needs and goals of your team. This workshop is only available in person.
