Today at the Museum

University of Texas at Dallas

The Dallas Museum of Art partners with the University of Texas at Dallas on several courses and projects, including the Summer Seminar for Teachers, interactive learning spaces, and web-based games featuring works of art from the Museum's collections. These projects focus on creativity and innovative learning with works of art. Students and faculty also collaborate with education staff to lead workshops and programs merging art and technology in the Tech Lab in the Center for Creative Connections. 

Coastlines: Images of Land and Sea
Graduate students and faculty in the Arts and Technology program at UT Dallas are working in collaboration with exhibition, curatorial, and education staff at the Dallas Museum of Art to create an immersive multi-layer sound installation for the Coastlines exhibition. UT Dallas students will serve as lead composers and sound quality technicians, and will also collaborate in a web-based exchange with sound design students in Marseilles, France, who will contribute several individual soundscapes to this project.

Spring Honors Seminar
This annual semester-long collaborative course is offered to students in the Collegium V program at UT Dallas. The course meets weekly at the Museum and is taught by UT Dallas professors and Dallas Museum of Art educators and curators. Past topics have included Maya Art & Mythology, Modernism, Creativity, and The Senses in Art & Literature.
