The Art of Science—KUSAMA at NYBG

July 20–25, 2020

Discover ways to help students experience the wonder of the outdoors through both art and science. Hone observational skills and ask questions using the backdrop of the Garden grounds and the KUSAMA exhibition as inspiration. Explore how forms found in nature can provide inquiry-based framework for learning and art making.

Teachers seeking professional development experience the beautiful collections of the Garden during multi-session institutes or customized workshops. These programs provide a six-day immersion in which participants learn how to make teaching fun through field-tested, hands-on, inquiry-based activities. Participants may earn "P" in-service credits from the New York City Department of Education or up to 175 hours for State License requirements. P-credits should be applied for first with the NYC DOE via The After School Professional Development Program (ASPDP). Then, after registering with ASPDP, you can return to NYBG to register with us.

Cost: $200 (includes curriculum materials, reproducible handouts, and plants)

Teachers interested in speaking with our professional development staff should email teachered@nybg.org or call 718.817.8140.
