About Free-Loan Teaching Resources

The National Gallery of Art's Division of Education provides slide
teaching programs, multimedia programs, videocassettes, CD ROMs, and
DVDs to millions of viewers each year. These programs are intended to
foster awareness of the visual arts and make Gallery collections
accessible to a broad audience beyond the Gallery's walls. They are
circulated free of charge to educational institutions, community
groups, and individuals throughout the United States.

Our Loan Programs meet national standards in the visual arts for
kindergarten through grade 12. A variety of artists, subjects,
techniques, and styles are examined. Many programs contain suggestions
for related activities and questions designed to stimulate discussion
of the art and artists, of cultural and historical issues.

Slide teaching programs are designed to permit flexibility in use. We
encourage you to review them, select those images and information that
are most useful to your teaching needs, and to adapt and shape the
materials to your specific instructional objectives.
