Latino Museum is dedicated to providing the
widest possible audience with a compelling
academic analysis of Latino contributions
to society with a specific concentration on
the impact of Latino culture in the United
States. Of particular importance to The Latino
Museum is reaching out to the public school
students of Los Angeles County where nearly
60% of the students in grades K-12 are of
Latino heritage.
Through its Educational Program, which
is free to the public, The Latino Museum
has provided off-site classes and workshops
to thousands of Los Angeles public school
students. In addition, The Latino Museum
offers a variety of online educational tools
including: Resources,
Glossary,
Windows
to the World, and Curriculum
Guides. We also provide online educational
information on the artists and works featured
in our collection: Contemporary
Latino Artists and Self-Help
Graphics.

| With
funding provided by the California Arts Council
and the State of California and technical
assistance provided by New Visions Foundation,
The Latino Museum has developed two curriculum
guides on the history of Latino art: the In-School
Curriculum Guide and the After-School Curriculum
Guide. Both were specifically written for
public school teachers of grades 5 through
10 but are adaptable to any grade level. To
meet the needs of Los Angeles County’s
student population, there are English and
Spanish versions of each guide.
In-School Curriculum
Guide
The In-School Curriculum Guide is intended
for use in Visual Arts, Social Studies and
Spanish Language courses. The Guide consists
of five units organized thematically under
historical sections that inform Latino and
Chicano contemporary art. The In-School
Guide also includes images of important
works by Latino and Chicano artists for
in-class presentations and lectures.
The In-School Curriculum Guide has approximately
250 pages and dozens of copyright protected
images; thus, it is not available for download.
It is possible, however, to view excerpts
from each unit by clicking on one of the two
links below. Teachers interested in receiving
a copy of the entire Guide should contact
The Latino Museum.

The After-School Curriculum Guide provides

for students in grades 5-10. It is designed
to work in tandem with or independently
