The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) offers this collection of 100 educational resources for K-12 teachers. Many of these resources may also be of interest to youth librarians and teachers in out of school contexts. This collection can be browsed by grade level, subject area, or theme (e.g. Power, Community, or Narrative Process). One highlight of this collection is the Open Studio series, which features classroom activities suggested by contemporary artists. Some of these activities are accompanied by short videos featuring the artist. Another highlight is a series of printable artist guides, which feature short readings and photographs of artwork by a famous artist, accompanied by activities for students to complete. Featured artists include Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Louise Bourgeois. This collection also offers a series of discussion guides designed to engage learners of all ages with a variety of work found in SFMOMA. Finally, younger learners may be drawn to the playful Country Dog Gentlemen video series, which follows dogs from Roy De Forest's painting by the same name as they learn about various artists.
