Curriculum+Fair+2015

Thursday, May 14th, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM
Ryan Education Center, Modern Wing //The Art Institute’s annual Curriculum Fair showcases the work of teachers who have participated in the museum’s programs during the past year. This large and informal event gives educators the opportunity to share lesson plans or other curriculum materials inspired by artworks in the museum along with student work samples. Members of the Art Institute’s Teacher Advisory Panel help in the event planning and provide gallery tours during the fair. Local artists are on hand to engage participants with their work and discuss the intersection of art making and educational practice.// **For more information: [|click here]**

//This year’s theme, “Breakthrough,” is inspired by our current exhibition Shatter, Rupture, Break, which reflects on the 20th century’s tendency of breaking with norms and tradition and reconfiguring meaning from the fragments in new, innovative ways. Presentations at this event will be informal in order to promote a friendly environment, conversation, and a casual exchange of your great ideas.//
