Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts
The Museum partners with Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas on various projects with students and teachers that focus on the relationships among the arts and the integration of works of art into all subject areas. As neighbors in the Dallas Arts District, the Museum and Booker T. Washington collaborate often.
Arts & Letters Live
Students enrolled in the Portfolio Class create two-dimensional works in response to short stories featured in the Texas Bound program.
World History
World History teacher Carolyn Reitz brings her classes to the Museum monthly to use the galleries as an extension of her classroom. The main goal for this class is to focus on works of art as primary resources for understanding culture and history.
Visiting Artists
The Dallas Museum of Art hosts numerous performing, visual, and literary artists for short- and long-term collaborative projects and programs. Conversations and workshops with these artists are designed for students, offering opportunities to learn about the careers of professional artists.
Video Club
Students participating in the afterschool Video Club meet with local filmmakers, discuss and learn techniques, and create film shorts using the Museum's collections, building, and programs as inspiration. In 2009, students created film shorts inspired by works of art in the Museum's collections. In 2010 students created short documentaries featuring schools participating in the Young Artists Program for The Art Ball.
