The NCMA welcomes students with disabilities and diverse learning needs to participate in our virtual field trip program. Virtual field trips can be customized according to a teacher’s recommendations to ensure the accessibility of the experience. Captioning, audio description, ASL interpretation, and Spanish/English bilingual programs are available upon request.
Students will explore three works of art from the permanent collection by Black artists. Elementary (K-5) students will explore works by artists of the African Diaspora and discuss how these artists each illustrate the idea of community and movement. While Secondary (6-12) students will focus on works by African artists and how each illustrates personal and communal identities and the influence of African traditionalism and African modernity.
Students will explore works of art from the permanent collection by Latin American artists and how each artist reflects an aspect of their identity through images of place and journeys.
Dive into the herstory of the permanent collection. Students learn about the creative output of women while exploring concepts of representation and identity in visual culture.
Students will view and discuss multiple works of art from different areas of the museum’s collection. Together, students will select artworks that represent key components of a narrative: characters, setting, conflict, and solution, and discuss a possible plot to create a collective story around their chosen works of art.
Select your own theme or topic! A museum educator will work with you to co-create a virtual experience that meets your curricular needs.
Drawing upon the rich collection of the NCMA, students will explore the work of global contemporary artists that express diverse emotions, as well as cultural and interpersonal perspectives.

Programs for K-2 students focus on self-awareness and management skills while those for 3-12 students focus on social awareness skills.
Students will explore the untold stories of artwork from the NCMA Permanent Collection by looking carefully at the way artists use symbols to share their personal and collective narratives. Students will use their analytical and problem solving skills to uncover clues that shape the story behind the art.

Students will use inquiry to make inferences about art based on visual evidence while exploring science topics such as weather or teacher’s choice to accommodate grade-specific standards.
