¹û½´ÊÓƵ

¹û½´ÊÓƵ Art Museum is open to the campus community with limited hours.

Student learning in the CWAM focuses on object-based learning which grounds discussion, contextual research, and writing within the object.

¹û½´ÊÓƵ faculty have a variety of options for using the museum as a site for active learning. These include class tours facilitated by CWAM staff, using permanent collection materials in class, and developing an exhibition as an integral part of a class.

How do I set up class tours?

To arrange a facilitated class tour, call or email the CWAM staff to make arrangements. If you would like to have a class meet in the galleries without a tour, please let the CWAM staff know in case there is another scheduled class meeting at the same time. Facilitated class tours are available to ¹û½´ÊÓƵ faculty outside of the CWAM’s posted hours.

How do I select materials from the collection for teaching?

To use permanent collection materials in a class, call or email the CWAM staff and describe what you are interested in and your preferred dates for the class visit. CWAM staff will work with you to search the collections, provide suggestions, and facilitate your class visit and collection use in either the galleries or a classroom in Ebert Art Center.

How do I develop a course-integrated exhibition project?

This type of student learning opportunity is usually planned one or two years in advance. If you have an idea for an exhibition project or questions about how to start the process, contact CWAM staff to discuss your ideas and interests.
