The Kreeger Museum (Kreeeger Museum)

The Kreeger Museum in partnership with the Catholic University of America (CUA) will develop a model program for using art and music for students with special educational needs. The program includes the development of specially designed art museum tours and workshops with docents who are trained by visual artists and CUA faculty in special education and music education. The tour will be followed by a workshop taught by a professional artist. The students will listen to contemporary and classical music, dissect the sounds, and interpret them in drawing exercises and compositional development. The Hear Art, See Music workshops will include the dissemination of CD-ROMs and DVDs to museum educators as tools to design museum programs for children with special education needs. This program is designed to be replicated by small and mid-size museums.
