Teacher and Family Resources

Woodmere offers family and teacher resources designed to use the visual arts as a learning tool across all disciplines. Woodmere's mission, to tell the story of Philadelphia's art and artists, is particularly relevant to children growing up in this region.

Upcoming Teacher Workshop

• exploring how our identities and backgrounds shape the way we see;
• engaging in dialogue to explore diverse experiences and points of view;
• developing critical thinking skills to consider the fairness/justice and power dynamics of social and political systems and their history;
• reflecting on the ways in which people in the photographs peacefully protest injustice, persevere, and find joy and community; 
• imagining the future and ways in which civic life could be better and more inclusive.
