🟪 MADE FOR LIVING: OBJECTS OF DESIGN – A Guide for Educators

This guide explores design from The Museum of Modern Art’s rich collection. It is informed by issues that arise from the selected works, but its organization and lesson topics are created with the school curriculum in mind, with particular application to social studies, visual art, history, science, and language arts. Lessons are accompanied by writing, research, and hands-on, art-based activities that encourage students to make connections between design, the visual arts, and other disciplines. This guide will explore form and function as related to the selected design objects while also considering designers’ interest in the aesthetic resonance of their work.
