Teacher Training at the High Museum of Art
Where: High Museum of Art, Atlanta, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
France-Atlanta 2013 offered a two-day training for middle and high school French teachers in partnership with the High Museum of Art, Théâtre du Rêve and Metro Resa.
The training provided presentations, gallery activities and workshops around the exhibit The Louvre and the Tuileries Garden, and around Théâtre du Rêve’s original piece which provides a sensory experience of the Garden across the centuries.
- The Théâtre du Rêve’s Christophe Veillon was one of the guest lecturers of the teacher training.
- Participants of the teacher training pose for a picture.
Teaching objectives
The aim was to give educators ideas to link the acquisition of background information (artists’ names, works of art, artistic periods, historical references) to the acquisition of linguistic and cultural competencies in French for their students. The training also helped educators prepare their students for the sensory experience of Théâtre du Rêve’s original piece which explores the Tuileries Garden across the centuries. After the visit educators were equipped to use drama in the classroom with their students through the development of original scenes inspired by the art work and theatrical performance.
Pedagogical Kit
Participants received a pedagogical kit that will include images to be used in pre-visit lessons (powerpoint or photocopies) as well as lesson plans for post-visit activities.
