New Dimensions

New Dimensions is an innovative program built on the fact that repeat visits to the Museum instill deeper, more meaningful learning experiences for students—and build a foundation for greater lifelong enjoyment of the arts! Over the course of 10 – 20 hours at the Museum, middle school and high school students learn to look at, describe and analyze works of art in the Museum’s collection. Visits culminate in the creation of a multimedia project using traditional and digital media including iLife and iStopMotion software on MacBook computers.
