W. E. Greiner Exploratory Arts Academy
The Museum’s partnership with the Exploratory Arts Academy at W. E. Greiner Middle School in Dallas focuses on visual arts projects that connect with the Museum's collections. Each year, Museum staff and the academy art teacher develop a project that includes classroom instruction, museum visits, mini studio projects, and connections with living artists.
During the 2009-2010 school year, Greiner 7th grade students investigated how words and images are integrated into works of art. Students looked at works of art from the Museum’s collections that included both images and text, began to think about artists as visual storytellers, and created visual and textual works of art in a culminating project.
