Virtual Resources for Educators
At Cameron Art Museum, we believe that arts are essential in developing critical thinking skills, learning how to communicate, appreciating different cultures, understanding history, and celebrating our shared humanity. We know that arts integration is an effective way to teach core curriculum that bridges the achievement gap.
Guided by this belief, we have created a School Program Guide highlighting our virtual resources for education. This guide includes virtual tour offerings, class offerings, and free educational resources. We have also created two booklets of lesson plans that are perfect for in the classroom or at home and include an art history lesson, an art project, and connections to core curriculum.

We promote visual literacy by using Visual Thinking Strategies methodology, helping students develop the ability to look closely in making inferences about the meaning of works of art. Your students will build skills and connect with standards. CAM’s Pre-K through 12 experiences support North Carolina’s Standard Course of Study on one or more of the following core curricula: Arts Education, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics.
