The GVSU Art Museum can integrate artwork into your classroom discussions, assignments, projects, and more. Check out our calendar to see if one of our already planned events meets a goal for your students, or reach out to us directly to plan something tailored to your needs. We can bring artwork to your classroom; you can visit our art storage or office spaces, or book a tour of an exhibition or space on campus. 

The GVSU Art Museum team can work with faculty one-on-one to create lesson plans or assignments. Whether you are looking for a behind-the-scenes experience, something hands-on, a creative usage of art in your classroom, or a more traditional assignment, we are here to assist you.

Use the artwork in this theme to explore stories from around the world. Challenge students to create a story behind an artwork – what happened to lead to this moment, and what will happen after it? Or use artwork to engage with empathy, explore other perspectives, and as research points on different media or myths. Use them as visual aids to supplement class readings, or as inspiration for students to create their own works of art.
