HUNTER MUSEUM & EDUCATORS

English Language Arts & Literacy: Artworks can be used as texts to investigate character, setting, mood, and tone, as well as to ignite thinking on rhetorical arguments, creating empathy, and exploring the senses.

Social Studies: We collect objects from the United States beginning with the contact between Native Americans and Europeans to the present day. Our artworks can be used as documents for discussions on colonialism, slavery, industrialism, culture and traditions, government, economics, community, immigration, urbanism, civil rights, and globalization, among other topics.

Mathematics: Our artworks are sites for exploration of shape, line, scale, pattern, proportion, balance, and composition.

Science: Our collection allows opportunities to explore our natural environment across time, technological innovation and inquiry, the states of matter, force and motion, energy and perception.

HUNTER FELLOWS

Hunter Education Fellows are a cohort of teachers collaborating with the Hunter Museum to create engaging curriculum integrated with and focused on the arts. Fellows explore topics that stimulate reflective, equitable learning in the classroom through professional development workshops throughout the school year.

Each semester, the Hunter partners with teachers interested in connecting with the museum collection. Fellows have the opportunity to bring students to the museum at a discounted rate and to showcase student work in the museum with a celebration of their talent at the end of each semester.
