Online Course: Art and Global Learning

This self-paced online course (open January 28–April 8) uses works of art from the Museum’s collection as a pathway to comprehending global issues and developing cross-cultural understanding. The goal is to aid you, and eventually your students, explore global issues through inquiry-driven, art-based practices. The course helps you make connections to your content areas, identify your own global practice, and provide strategies to help students investigate the world, recognize perspectives, communicate ideas, and take action (1 CEU in art or digital learning, with approval from the local school system).
