For Educators
School Programs
AAC offers schools artist residencies that integrate the arts into the academic curriculum. Our mosaic mural residency is an eight-month after school program that starts with the student design process and ends with a large scale mosaic mural located on the school grounds. This is one of our most popular and exciting programs.
The length and cost of the residencies depends on the needs of the school.
We also offer short workshop visits to teachers’ classrooms for a fun and educational experience that cost $75.00 an hour.
Project Sculpture
This is a program based on the process of building environmentally based, contemporary, large-scale sculpture. Students are given a slide lecture in their school on the creative process followed by a visit to Abington Art Center’s outdoor Sculpture Park. Students are then given a guided tour on the museum grounds where they discuss how the art interacts with nature. They can even touch the art!
After the tour students meet in AAC studios and create their own three-dimensional sculpture from a variety of materials. The on-site experience lasts for two and a half hours and students walk away with a better understanding and insight of how art and nature interact.
Project Sculpture Slide Visit, Tour & Hands-on Project: $250.00
Project Sculpture Tour & Hands-on Project: $150.00
