We design experiences that respond to different learning styles, developmental stages, and curricular goals. We believe that art matters, and that close looking and interpretation contribute to creativity, critical analysis, and community.

A group of children in a room with a framed painting in the background. One child in the foreground holds a pink piece of paper and a small foil-wrapped object. The children wear casual clothing, and the child in the foreground has glasses and long hair. The painting in the background depicts a scene with horses and riders.

To release the imagination is to release the power of empathy, to become more present to those around, perhaps to care.

Maxine Greene (1917–2014), Educational Philosopher

Educational Resources

Your Learning at the Blanton experience can start at the museum or online! Explore resources created by our team of educators, artists and designers to support student learning and complement in-person guided visits. A wide selection of videos, guides, and more are available for University and School educators and students.

"A group of people standing in an art gallery or museum, listening to a woman who appears to be a guide or instructor. They are gathered around an art piece, with a text panel on the wall behind them that contains information about the exhibit. The text on the wall discusses contemporary art and its various themes and approaches.
