Student Programs
The Metropolitan Museum of Art welcomes students to a program of
free classes held after school and on weekends. Both junior high and
high school students have the rare and special opportunity to study
original works of art in the Museum with instructors from the
Education Department. All classes ask students to be active
participants in understanding and appreciating works of art, and to
look and respond through discussion in the galleries or through the
creation of their own works of art in the studio.

Middle and high school students (grades 7-12) can learn more online
about a wide variety of free after-school and weekend classes
devoted to understanding and exploring the Metropolitan Museum.
Classes are free but registration is required.

For High School Students:
Pictures Made Out of the Real World
Friday, February 24
5:00-7:00 p.m.
Instructor: Rika Burnham
Uris Center for Education

In the 1950s, American artist Robert Rauschenberg redefined painting
by incorporating real objects into his artworks, saying "I think a
picture is more like the real world when it is made out of the real
world." In this class we explore these enigmatic works in the
special exhibition Robert Rauschenberg: Combines through writing,
drawing, and discussion.
