Unlocking Inquiry: Scavenger Hunts and Museum Connections in AP Art History
Wednesday, December 3, 2025
FREE for NAEA members; $49 for nonmembers
What happens when museum strategies meet AP Art History? Join this dynamic webinar where a museum educator and two AP Art History teachers share how digital and onsite scavenger hunts rooted in inquiry can bring the AP image set to life. Learn how to integrate scavenger hunts that emphasize close looking, thematic connections, and culturally responsive prompts. Discover how to connect your classroom to local museums by collaborating in tours or self-guided experiences that align with course content while encouraging comparative analysis and student voice.
This session will offer adaptable strategies for both classroom teachers and museum educators. Participants will leave with editable templates, tech tools, and real-world examples of how these activities support visual literacy, deepen historical thinking, and make art history stick.
