Archive of The Dinner Party Curriculum Project
The goal of The Dinner Party Curriculum Project is to provide teachers with guidance to help their students develop a deep understanding and appreciation of The Dinner Party and what it teaches us about women’s achievements throughout Western civilization. While The Dinner Party Curriculum has been developed by and for art educators, it is also relevant for the study of history, social studies, English, and language arts.
The Dinner Party Curriculum Project consists of 14 “encounters” that are adapted versions of the activities planned for the summer institute at The Department of Art Education and Crafts at Kutztown University. The Encounters are accompanied by lessons, activities, and resources developed and implemented by the institute teachers.
