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.

Whether you are looking for anatomical artwork or artwork that inspires empathy in your healthcare students, the GVSU collection has a myriad of artworks to choose from.

Looking for a unique opportunity to use art with your health students to inspire empathy? Consider contacting us to bring a Visual Thinking Studies (VTS) session to your classroom. VTS has been used in medical schools across the world, including Johns Hopkins and Harvard Medical School, to help students going into healthcare broaden their perspectives, learn to see, and relate to the experiences of their future patients.
