Learn with NEHMA:
Field Trips | Explore NEHMA's current exhibitions
We help classes fulfill Utah Common Core Arts curriculum requirements through discussions of artworks on view with educators where they learn more about art vocabulary, artist motivations, and display practices. Students practice effectively looking at and talking about art using art vocabulary and terminology while participating in interactive gallery activities.
