AMAM Classroom Resource Sheets

Thanks to the generous support of the Ohio Arts Council, the AMAM has developed classroom resource sheets based on twenty works from the museum’s permanent art collection. For every work, you will find a visual analysis, background on the work’s function, its cultural and historical importance, an artist biography, and a list of possible vocabulary words. Additionally, each resource sheet lists the Ohio Academic Content Standards and their K-12 Benchmarks met by the study of each work and its related classroom activities. We have also developed ideas for curriculum connections in each of the major subject areas. It is our hope not only that some of these connections might be used in your classroom, but also that they are used as a ‘jumping off point’ for the creative integration of works from our collection into your lesson plans.

This project was inspired by the success of an earlier effort, the “Learning Asian Arts Syllabus,” created as part of a grant from the Freeman Foundation. That syllabus presents lesson plans, linked with state standards, based on works from our fantastic Asian collection (and is available online here).

You can download the entire packet of 20 resource sheets by clicking here. (Zip file - 3.58 megs)

These resources are available to you in several other ways, as well. Below you will find an index of the available classroom resource sheets listed by curriculum connections and grade level.

In our ongoing efforts to help better serve the educational community, the AMAM would like your feedback on our new Classroom Resource Sheets. Please download an evaluation form, and return it to the address listed,
or send us an email with your thoughts. Thanks!
