| 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. Teachers interested in receiving
a free copy of the In-School Curriculum
Guide should contact
The Latino Museum.
After-School
Curriculum Guide
The After-School Curriculum Guide
provides 20 distinct and interesting hands-on
activities for students in grades 5-10.
It is designed to work in tandem with or
independently from the In-School Curriculum
Guide.
Teachers interested in receiving a free
copy of the After- School Curriculum
Guide should contact
The Latino Museum.
