Off Artium
This programme is divided into two sessions. We will travel to the school for the first session (1 hour) and the second session involves a tour-workshop in Artium (2 hours).
Both sessions must be undertaken in consecutive weeks and the same topic will be dealt with in both. A minimum of two groups per centre must participate. The activity is only for schools in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Other centres need to check first with our Education Department regarding the possibility of doing them. We can attend up to three groups at the same time in the Museum.
We propose the following topics and curricular connections to explore in the two sessions:
- People. People and bodies. Think and feel. Me and other: girls, boys and much more. Portraits and self-portraits. Looking for stories.
- Places. Here, there. Public and private: mine and everyone’s. From home to school, and to the Museum. What does the Museum tell us?
- Things. Useful, useless. Real, imaginary. What do things tell us? Art: why is this art?
- The artist. Languages. Decisions, processes, trades. What does the artist tell us, and what do we see? Real and imaginary: I see it, I imagine it.
- The seasons. Cycles and changes.
- The whys. Intention, contemporary. Why do you think this is art?
- Art and society. Other ideas. Context. Art and its relationship with the world. Do I believe it?
- The future. How do we imagine it from the here and now?

Programmes for Teachers
Artium Museoa's programmes for teachers aim to provide teachers with the keys to understanding the museum as an educational resource and also to show its capacity to enrich the curriculum and provide the school community with a first-class cultural experience.
Artium Museoa organises training sessions in which the museum is explored as an innovative educational tool from which to work on the school curriculum in each of its aspects and phases.
The Artium Museoa school programmes are not only designed for students, they are also designed for you, because you can find out about new and interesting ideas that you can apply in your teaching practice.
Whatever subject or subjects you teach, whatever the age of your students, Artium Museoa gives you the opportunity to use contemporary art as an innovative educational resource.
