Curriculum Resources: Africa

We strive to support formal and informal learning connected to global histories. These online resources—which focus on specific global histories reflected in the visual arts, as well as perspectives and lived experiences of artists—are designed to support common core standards in history, humanities, and ethnic studies for 7th–12th-grade learners. Based on Fowler exhibitions and publications, these materials enhance student engagement in the classroom by provoking inquiry into the intersections of art, history, religion, and current events.
