🟪 RISE OF THE MODERN CITY – A guide for educators

It is our pleasure to present this new guide for educators, which explores the development of the skyscraper in urban environments through The Museum of Modern Art’s rich collection. This guide is informed by issues posed by the selected works in a variety of mediums (architecture and design, drawing, photography, and prints), but its organization and lesson topics are created with the school curriculum in mind, with particular application to social studies, visual art, history, and language arts. Lessons are accompanied by writing, research, and hands-on, art-based activities that encourage students to make connections between the works discussed and their environment.
