EDUCATION

Education for School Groups

The New York City Department of Education's arts curriculum Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts identifies Printmaking as one of the seven arts that students are required to learn about. IPCNY offers educational programs aligned with The Blueprint for elementary, middle and high school classes, to help your students expand their visual literacy skills.

For the upcoming 2007-2008 school year, IPCNY is launching The Future Printmakers' Workshop which seeks to engage students in the study of prints and printmaking. The workshop will be tailored to the class level of the students attending.

Highlights of IPCNY's workshops are as follows:

  • Brief introduction to the organization and to the New York printmaking community
  • Exhibition tour
  • "What is a Print?", an explanation of printmaking techniques and practices
  • Hands-on art project
  • Screening of an excerpt from Lasting Impressions, a PBS program about Robert Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop
  • Print demonstration by a professional working artist

Lesson plans can be adapted to specific art works on view. Images from the current show are available in the Currently on View section of the website.

Teachers are welcome to make an appointment to bring their students to the IPCNY Gallery whenever an exhibition is on view, before or during gallery hours (11 am - 6 pm)

Please call Sookhyun Lee at 212-989-5090 or email sookhyun@ipcny.org for more information and to schedule a visit.
