Community Exhibitions
These in-person and digital exhibitions were created as a culmination of the annual professional development course, Connecting to the Core Curriculum: Building Teacher Capacity for Arts Integration with Prism.K12, a collaboration between The Phillips Collection and the University of Maryland.
As the culminating project for a 45-hour continuing education course, educators designed and facilitated arts-integrated lessons in their classrooms using the Prism.K12 strategies and artwork from The Phillips Collection.
Students built robots and programmed the coding, determining how the robots could create artworks similar to that of Joan Miro.
This digital exhibition showcases arts-integrated projects created by students from schools across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. All of these artworks were created while students were learning remote during the Covid-19 pandemic, demonstrating student and teacher dedication, tenacity, and resilience.
Students created artwork related to a specific protest movement using paper or digital media. They then added 7 words that presented a possible solution.
Students created lightboxes to express the many layers of their emotions, personalities, and interests.
Students from schools across Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, and Kuwait used artworks at The Phillips Collection as inspiration to create their own art. The projects are a culmination of a professional development course where teachers integrated the arts across a range of subjects from Math and Science to Reading and Social Studies.
