about
The Guide includes
Before Viewing and After Viewing questions as well as suggestions for hands-on activities and Internet addresses where you can find additional images of artists' work. Suggestions are interdisciplinary and support instruction in the Visual and Performing Arts, Language Arts, and Social Studies. Designed for use at the secondary level, the content can be easily adapted for younger or older groups. The Curriculum Connections section lists the relevant national education standards in Visual Art, Social Studies, and Language Arts.

The Season One Educators' Guide was developed by Toby Levine Communications, with the support of the Season One Educational Advisory Council, comprised of teachers, museum educators, and curriculum specialists.

Art:21 Educators’ Guides are designed to be used in conjunction with the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series on PBS. Season One can be purchased on VHS and DVD through PBS and Davis Publications. Educators who intend to show the series in their classrooms can also record "Art in the Twenty-First Century" off the air when it is broadcast by local PBS stations.

Check with your local station to learn when the series will air next in your area.
