Teacher + school resources

Created in conjunction with the AFA exhibition Roman Art from the Louvre, this Resource for Educators is designed to enhance classroom study about ancient Rome and its rich artistic legacy. We recommend that, if possible, you use this resource in conjunction with a visit to the exhibition. Encourage students to look closely at the works of art and to learn about their historical context. The experience of careful looking, combined with thoughtful questioning and access to information about history and culture, creates a rewarding and powerful learning experience. The discussion starters and activities can be adjusted to the level of your students.

The Jane S. Dutton Educational Resource Center provides educational tools for presenting and reinforcing lessons on art and cultures spanning the world and time. Often used in combination, the Dutton Center has videos, education objects, teacher packets, slides and museum kits that may be borrowed for free.
