Programs for K–12 Schools and Educators 57,211 students (7,889 adults) Programs for schools and educators are crucial means for reaching children from families who do not ordinarily visit museums. Over 57,000 K–12 students from all over the Bay Area participated in school programs at both the de Young and the Legion over the course of this exciting and engaging year. The largest numbers of these children are reached through our docent-led and self-guided school tours. At the de Young, many of these tours conclude with a related hands-on art project in a tower classroom. In order to maximize children’s learning potential during their museum visits, the Education Department has prepared Get Smart with Art, a free interdisciplinary curriculum series that supports California state content standards for language arts, social studies, and visual arts. All of the Museums’ school programs are free.

Growing Up at the Fine Arts Museums | 8 Special Exhibition School Mondays 3,241 students (546 adults) To maximize students’ opportunities to see our temporary exhibitions, the museums open exclusively to school groups on select Mondays. This enables them to have the galleries to themselves while they tour with docents, and to work with the teaching artists in the museums’ public spaces. The Education Department creates related curricula with input from teacher advisers to prepare students for their visits. Once Mondays reach capacity, school groups are scheduled to visit the exhibitions during regular open hours on self-guided tours.

Picasso Curriculum, Tours, and Art Making 1,474 students (241 adults) Pissarro’s People Curriculum, Tours, and Art Making 742 students (173 adults) Masters of Venice Curriculum, Tours, and Art Making 1,025 students (132 adults)

Get Smart with Art @ the de Young Get Smart with Art is a series of curricula that were uniquely designed by the Fine Arts Museums and require only the addition of inquisitive students.

Docent-Led Tours for K–12 School Groups 7,192 students (numbers do not include Special Exhibition School Mondays) (1,924 adults) Working with small groups in the galleries, docents help students discover and develop their abilities to look at, think about, and enjoy art by encouraging dialogue about the art, artists, and cultures represented in the museums’ collections.
