Rodman Hall Art Centre - School Programs

Bring your class to Rodman Hall for an artistic and creative experience that they will never forget!

Our guided tours allow students to explore the galleries and experience the work of local, national and international artists. The exhibitions are explored using group discussions, interactive exercises, questioning strategies and critical analysis. Gallery visits and studio projects support the visual arts curriculum and are led by dynamic educators and volunteers who use a variety of teaching strategies and techniques to engage your students and promote visual literacy. The thematic studio projects are designed to enhance your tour and give students the ability to reflect and respond to the artworks they have just experienced.
