What is a Curriculum Card?

Curriculum Cards are an easy-to-recogonize format Sun Gallery uses to provide teachers with helpful information and exciting art projects that relate to our current or upcoming exhibitions. Use them as a resource before you bring your class to Sun Gallery for a field trip, discuss art in the community or in general, or are just looking for a good art project.

Look here in the near future for a growing list of new and archived art projects.

Suggested Art Project

Earthsong : A Hands-on Art and Nature Project
