ARTLINKS:THE NTIEVA STUDY PRINT CONNECTION

The North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts is proud to present boxed sets of 18"x24" fine art poster reproductions of twenty-five works fo art, five each from our consortium's five area art museums. Made possible by a generous grant from the Edward and Betty Marcus Foundation, the prints are mounted, backed with reference information and laminated for classroom use. A set of the prints was given to each school in NTIEVA's consortium.

Museum educators from the Amon Carter Museum (Allison Perkins), the Dallas Museum of Art (Gail Davitt and Aileen Horan), the Kimbell Art Museum (Marilyn Ingram), the Meadows Museum(Maria Teresa Garcia), and the Modern Art Museum of FortWorth (Linda Powell) worked with Nancy Berry, ArtLinks project director and NTIEVA consultant, to select the artworks and prepare related support materials.

Reference material on the back of each print includes information about the artist or culture, subject, cultural context and style, as well as formal, sensory, expressive and technical properties appropriate to the work. Suggested discussion questions have beew prepared by museum educators to serve to guide students in higher order thinking skills as they explore artworks from many cultures and times. The reference material is also repeated in an accompanying user guide.

In addition, a teacher's guide has been developed that includes lesson units, additonal information about the artists and/or artwork, a time line, references, and other materials.
